electrolysis

Question 1

electrolytes are ionic compounds,but name two properties of them

Answer 1

in the molten state (heated so they become liquids), or

dissolved in water

Question 2

when dissolved in water what are ions able to do

Answer 2

freely move in the liquid/solution

Question 3

electrolysis is a process whcih electricity comes from what type of current

Answer 3

a direct current

Question 4

which type of electron would be attracted to what type of electrode

Answer 4

a positively charged ion would go to the cathode a negatove one would go to the anode

Question 5

is the anode positive or negative

Answer 5

positive

Question 6

is the cathode positive or negative

Answer 6

negative

Question 7

what happens when ions reach an electrode

Answer 7

they gain or lose electrons

Question 8

asa result of gaining/losing electrons at the electrode what do they form

Answer 8

they form atoms,or molecules of elements

Question 9

positive ions gain electrons from the _____ charged ______

Answer 9

negatively

cathode

Question 10

negative ions lose electrons at the ______ charged _____

Answer 10

positively

anode

Question 11

what is the goal of electrolysis and how is this goal achieved

Answer 11

the goal is to extract/separate ions to form elements or to extract ores,to form the seperate elements they negative ions go to the anode and positive electrons go to the cathode,at their designated electrodes they gain electrons to balance they gain/lose electrons to form the element.
