electrolysis

Question 1

what equipment should we use for experiment?

Answer 1

beaker

Question 2

what is an electrolyte?

Answer 2

liquid or solution that contains an ionic compound- ions are free moving

Question 3

what are elctrodes?

Answer 3

solid conductors

Question 4

what electrode goes on the right?

Answer 4

anode

Question 5

what electrode goes on left?

Answer 5

cathode- negative

Question 6

what do we have to do to the electrodes?

Answer 6

join these with a wire and add a power supply so electrons can flow and drive flow of electrons

Question 7

what does electrolysis mean ?

Answer 7

splitting up with electricty

Question 8

what will be attracted to the anode?

Answer 8

the negative ions and when they get there they will be discharged and bromine atoms can pair up to form bromine gas

Question 9

what are positive ions attracted to?

Answer 9

cathode and will become discharged which will form to bottom which will form a molten layer of lead

Question 10

what is happening to the ions at the cathode?

Answer 10

being reduced

Question 11

oxidised meaning?

Answer 11

losing electrons the lose 1 at the anode

Question 12

reduced mean?

Answer 12

gain electrons

Question 13

what are the electrons at the anode doing?

Answer 13

being passed onto the anode and flowing along the wire to the cathode using battery and these are being given to the cathode and adding two electrons turning it to pure neutral lead

Question 14

what happens during electrolysis summary?

Answer 14

using electricity to convert ions in a compound into pure forms by transfering to negative ions to positive
