13
Q

How does a change in the pressure affect the equilibrium

A

Increase in pressure means no of particles per unit volume increase and hence equilibrium wants to go to side with less particles. Decreasing the pressure means the equilibrium will shift to the side with more gas molecules. This is because reducing the pressure makes the system want to occupy more volume

Q

How does a change in the concentration affect the equilibrium

A

Increasing the concentration of reactants/Decreasing concentration of products = equilibrium shifts in forward direction

Increasing concentration of products/Decreasing concentration of reactant = equilibrium shifts in reverse direction

Q

How does adding a catalyst affect the equilibrium

A

Add a catalyst = increase rate of forward reaction and backward reaction in the same manor

Adding catalyst means equilibrium will be achieved faster, but they will have no effect in the yield of products/reactants

42
Q

What is electrolysis

A

On passing electric current in a molten or aqueous solution a chemical reaction takes place in an ionic compound an it disassociates into its elements.

43
Q

Electrodes

A

Electrical conductors (metals) which allow for the flow of charge to pass

44

48
Q

A

Negatively charged electrode (always connected to negative terminal of battery)
Attracts cations in compound
Reduction takes place at cathode due to gain of electrons

49
Q

54

A

Time
Voltage/Potential Difference
Concentration

55
Q

What all changes can be seen when an inert electrode is used

A

Colour of electrolyte fades as ions are leaving the solution
No change in mass of Anode
Cathode mass increase as a layer of solid is being deposited on the cathode.

56
Q

What all changes can be seen when an active electrode is used

A

colour of electrolyte remains the same as ions keep flowing back in the solution
Anode mass decreases
Cathode mass increase

57
Q

How does increasing the concentration affect the rate of deposition

A

Increasing the concentration means more ions are present in the electrolyte and hence a greater number of ions will be attracted to the cathode forming a greater deposition layer

58
Q

How does increasing the potential difference affect the rate of deposition

A

Higher voltage leads to more movement of ions in the electrolyte, resulting in a greater number of metal ions being deposited on the cathode. According to Ohm’s Law, a greater voltage supplied means a greater current flowing through the electrolyte. Increased current enhances the rate at which metal ions are reduced and deposited on the cathode, with more ions moving towards the cathode per unit time

59
Q

How does increasing the time affect the rate of deposition

A

Increasing the time means a longer duration for the ions to deposit onto the cathode, hence a greater rate of deposition

60
Q

What interference will the active electrodes have on electrolysis

A

At Anode, the deposition of anions will happen, however, the electrons present in element of anode will also be pulled by the battery and hence the the newly formed ions from the anode will deposit into the electrolyte, refilling the hole leaved by the cation present in the electrolyte being attached to the cathode

61
Q

Electroplating material of anode and electrolyte

A

Must be the material or contain the material you wish to electroplate on cathode. Metal in electrolyte must be same as Anode

62
Q

The object you want to electroplate must be the

A

Cathode

63
Q

Salt Bridge

A

Helps maintain neutrality of solution and helps in movement of ions (cations move to cathode and anion move to anode)

Use metal of high reactivity to ensure no interference in reaction

64
Q

Factors affecting Voltage in Voltaic Cell

A

Electrode Material - Different materials have different tendencies to lose or gain electrons
Electrolyte concentration - Increasing the electrolyte concentration in a voltaic cell increases the voltage by enhancing the availability of ions for the reaction
Surface Area of electrode - A larger surface area allows for more contact between the electrode and electrolyte hence a greater voltage
Temperature - Higher temperature means a higher resistance making it harder for current to flow
