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
What is electrolysis
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
Electrodes
Electrical conductors (metals) which allow for the flow of charge to pass
44
Active Electrodes
Interfere with electrolysis reaction. They are mainly metals with low reactivity
45
Inert electrodes
Dont interfere in electrolysis reaction. Mainly graphite of platinum
46
Electrolytic cell
Any appartus used in electrolysis
47
Electrolyte
Ionic compound in liquid/molten/aqueous state
48
Cathode
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
Anode
Positively charged cathode (always connected to positive terminal of battery) Attract anions in compound Oxidation takes place due to loss of electrons
50
When current flows in electrolyte vs when current flows in electrode +wires who carry the charge
Electrolyte =Ions Electrode + Wires = electrons
51
Does cathode attract more reactive or less reactive metals
Less reactive
52
Anode formula for electrolysis for OH^-1
4OH^-1 = O_2 + 2H_2O + 4e^-1
53
Which ions and elements move to cathode
Hydrogen and Metal Ions
54
Factors affecting deposition in Electrolysis using Active electrode
Time Voltage/Potential Difference Concentration
55
What all changes can be seen when an inert electrode is used
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
What all changes can be seen when an active electrode is used
colour of electrolyte remains the same as ions keep flowing back in the solution Anode mass decreases Cathode mass increase
57
How does increasing the concentration affect the rate of deposition
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
How does increasing the potential difference affect the rate of deposition
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
How does increasing the time affect the rate of deposition
Increasing the time means a longer duration for the ions to deposit onto the cathode, hence a greater rate of deposition
60
What interference will the active electrodes have on electrolysis
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
Electroplating material of anode and electrolyte
Must be the material or contain the material you wish to electroplate on cathode. Metal in electrolyte must be same as Anode
62
The object you want to electroplate must be the
Cathode
63
Salt Bridge
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
Factors affecting Voltage in Voltaic Cell
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
