Chapter 3 - Rates, Equilibrium And Organic Chemistry Flashcards
1
Q
How does electrolysis work
A
It separates substances and its positive ions move to the cathode and its negative ions move to the anode therefore you have two pure substances separated
2
Q
What is the anode and cathode
A
Anode is positively charged electrode and cathode is the negatively charged one
3
Q

A
It is a liquid or solution containing ions therefore it conducts electricity
4
Q
What is an endothermic and exothermic reaction
A
