electroysis
The process by which ionic substances are decomposed into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them
electrolyte
(copper chloride solution) is any salt when dissolved in solution, will give that solution the ability to conduct electricity
what’s the conversion
electrical energy is converted to chemical energy
what is broken down
copper chloride (compound) is broken into copper metal(ion) and chlorine gas (ion)
what types of ions does it contain of
it contains of positively charged copper ions (cu²±) and negatively charged chlorine ions(CL-)
what must happen in order for the electrolysis to work
the ions must be free to move. ions are free to move when an ionic substance is dissolved in water
cation🐈
🐾 positively 🐾 charged ions
Anion🧅
negatively 😭 charged ion
negative electrode
cathode🐈
positive electrode
Anode
what happens during electrolysis
●positively charged ions move to the negative electrode(cathode)
●negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode(anode)
what is and what color is copper chloride
blue solution that forms :
equation
CuCl²(aq) ->Cu(s)+Cl²(g)
where is copper metal located
at the negative electrode
what does copper form as on the negative electrode
brown solid
