20
Q

Why do ionic compounds have to be dissolved in water or molten for electrolysis?

A

So that the ions can move

21
Q

What is the positive electrode called?

A

Anode

22
Q

What is the negative electrode called?

A

Cathode

23
Q

Why is cryolite added to aluminium oxide to extract aluminium by electrolysis?

A

To lower the melting point and reduce so reduce energy needed

24
Q

Why is the anode constantly replaced in the electrolysis of aluminium oxide?

A

The oxygen reacts with the carbon of the electrode to make carbon dioxide.

25
Q

What 2 ions do water molecules break down into in the electrolysis of aqueous solutions?

A

Hydrogen and hydroxide

26
Q

What moves to the cathode of electrolysis of aqueous solutions?

A

The least reactive positive ion.

27
Q

What moves to the anode of electrolsis of aqueous solutions?

A

If a halide (Gp 7) is present it will go to the anode, if not oxygen will go.
