18
Q

In purifying copper through electrolysis, what is the cathode made of

A

A thin pure piece of copper and more pure copper is added to it

19
Q

Why do we have to electrolyse copper

A

Because although copper is un reactive it isn’t found pure enough to be used in electrical conductors

20
Q

How is copper obtained from its ore

A

Reduction by carbon

21
Q

How does the electrical supply act in the electrolysis of copper

A

Pulls electrons off of copper atoms at the anode

Offering electrons at the cathode to nearby Cu2+ ions to turn them back into copper atoms

22
Q

What is at the cathode in electroplating

A

The object youre going to electroplate

23
Q

What is at the anode in electroplating

A

The bar of metal used for plating

24
Q

What is electroplating

A

Coating the surface of a metal with another metal using electricity

25
Q

What do we electroplate for everyday life

A

Decoration - jewellery or decorative items

Prevent corrosion - cutlery

26
Q

What conducts electricity in electrolysis

A

The free ions in the electrolyte
