Chapter 7 Electro Chemistry Flashcards
How is chlorine identified
First take a moistened piece of blue litmus paper to the mouth of test tube obtaining chlorine gas
Result : the blue litmus paper first turns red and is then bleached by chlorine
Write half reaction L- and M+
L= L+ + e-
M+ + e- = M
What precaution should u take note when doing electrolysis of Bromide II
Should be carried at a free water space
Electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride is used to manufacture important chemical in an industry
Name major product of electrolysis
Hydrogen
What chemical changes occur in electrolysis cell
Chemical changes to electrical changes to light
What can be used in place electrical bulb to measure electricity produced
Voltmeter
Why do pure water do not decompose when used in an electrolysis reaction
Because it’s a poor conductor of electricity
What can occur in an electro in a simple cell when the silver rod is replaced by a copper rod in a magnesium road
Magnesium is more electro positive than both so be the same whether silver nor copper
How reactive is platinum foil when connected to electricity
Un reactive
How is electricity produced in an electrochemical cell which has L- and M+ metals
Metal L ionizes by electrons passing the electron to M through wire . This cause electronic flow producing chemical energy then coveted into electric energy
