Chemistry Final Flashcards
Reduction
Decrease oxidation number
Gain of electrons
Cathode
Electrolysis
The decomposition of a compound into its elements by an electric current.
Electrolyte
Compound decomposed
Electrodes
Conduct electricity to and from the electrolyte
Anode
Positive electrode
Cathode
Negative electrode
Power supply should be….
Direct current
Extracting aluminum: electrolyte, electrodes, condition
Aluminum(III) oxide from bauxite ( +cryolite Na3AlF6)
Carbon anodes and cathodes
40000A, 970*C, molten
Cryolite’s function
Improves conductivity
Melting point of electrolyte decreases to 970*C
Electrolysis of brine: Electrodes, diaphragm
ANTI CAST - Titanium and steel
Porous diaphragm made of asbestos and polymers (water and ions can pass)
Electrolytic purification of copper
ANIM CAPU
Anode sludge
Copper(II) sulfate
Characteristics of equilibrium
Dynamic, rate equal, concentration fixed, cond change equi change, closed system
Equilibrium reaction
Reversible reaction that products can react together to reform the original reactants.
Open system
Without gas=equilibrium
Le Chatelier’s principle
If one or more factors that affect an equilibrium is changed, the position of equilibrium shifts in the direction which reduces (opposes) the change.
Factors affecting position of equilibrium
Concentration, temperature, pressure.
Stoichiometric number
化学计量数
Factors affecting Kc
Temperature
