Q

What is an electrolyte

A

a liquid that conducts electricity and completes the circuit

17
Q

What is the purpose of the ion bridge

A

to complete the circuit

18
Q

Why must direct current b used for electrolysis

A

DC allows the products to form separate electrodes

19
Q

What feature of Metallic bonding allows metals to conduct electricity

A

Delocalised outer electrons

20
Q

Name 2 metals that do not react with oxygen

A

Gold and silver

21
Q

Which metals do not react with acid?

A

Metals above hydrogen in the EC series

22
Q

Which metals react with water

A

Metals above and including magnesium

23
Q

How could you determine the order of reactivity of the metals

A

React the metals with water, acid and hydrogen

24
Q

How would you use a metal to produce a soluble salt

A

Add acid until it no longer reacts with the metal

Then filter the soluition and evaporate it

25
Q

How would you use a metal to produce a soluble salt

A

Add acid until it no longer reacts with the metal

Then filter the solution and evaporate it

26
Q

What are the 3 methods used to extract metals from their ores

A

Electrolysis
Heating with carbon or carbon monoxide
Heat alone

27
Q

What happens to the metal ions during the extraction of metals

A

reduction

28
Q

What happens to the positive ions during electrolysis

A

They move to the negative electrode and are reduced

29
Q

What happens to the negative ions during electrolysis

A

They move to the positive electrode and are oxidised

30
Q

What is a 1/2 cell

A

When we only have 1/2 of a reaction and its not joined to the other half

31
Q

How could you produce a bigger voltage in a cell?

A

increase the gap of metals in the EC series

32
Q

What is a Redox eq

A

When reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously

33
Q

Metal + oxygen

A

Metal oxide

34
Q

Metal + water

A

Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

35
Q

Metal + dilute acide

A

Salt + hydrogen

36
