Q

Describe molten lead bromide in electrolysis

A

When we use graphite electrodes to apply electricity across molten lead bromide, we form lead (metal) at the cathode and bromine (non-metal) at the anode.
Lead is present if a shiny metal forms around the cathode
Bromine is observed as a brown gas

Q

What happens if there are no halide ions in the anode

A

Oxygen forms

17
Q

What is produced in the cathode when a metal is higher than oxygen in the reactivity series

A

Hydrogen

18
Q

What is produced in the cathode when metal is lower than hydrogen in the reactivity series

A

The metal is produced

19
Q

In the cathode what half question takes place

A

Pb2(+) - 2e(-) -> Pb

20
Q

What half equations takes place at the anode

A

2Br(-) -> Br2 + 2e(-)

21
Q

How can you purify copper using copper sulfate in electrolysis

A

Copper ions will go into the electrolyte solid copper sulfate
The Cu2+ ions will be attracted to the cathode and pure copper will form

22
Q

What metals are found in the earths crust

A

Gold and platinum (highly unreactive metals )

23
Q

What is oxidation

A

Gain of oxygen and loss of electrons

24
Q

What is reduction

A

Loss of oxygen and gain of electrons

25
Q

What is a displacement reaction

A

Where a more reactive metal that forms positive ions more easily can remove a less reactive metal from a compound

26
Q

Describe displacement in terms of oxidation and reduction

A

More reactive metal loses electrons (oxidation) and the less reactive metal gains electrons (reduction)

27
Q

What are the 4 stages of life cycle assessment

A

Collecting the raw materials needed
Making and packaging the product
Product use
Disposal of the product

28
Q

What are benefits of recycling metals

A

Less burning of fossil fuels
Less energy used
Conserves finite resources
Fewer waste rock heaps

29
Q

What does oxidation of metals result In

A

Corrosion

30
Q

How can the rusting of iron be prevented

A

Exclusion of oxygen
Exclusion of water
Sarcrifical protection

31
Q

What are the three methods to stops metals from corroding

A

Coatings - apply a coating witch acts like a barrier such as greasing, painting or electroplating
Sarcrifical method - metal that that requires protection will have a more reactive metal attached to it
Galvanising - metal that needs protecting is sprayed With a more reactive metal

32
Q

Disadvantages of coating

A

If the coating gets damaged, the metal becomes exposed so corrosion can take place

33
Q

How can electroplating be used to improve the appearance of a metal

A

coat a cheaper metal with a more expensive one. This gives the cheaper metal the appearance of the more expensive metal, which could be gold or silver. This gives us the option of buying cheaper jewellery.

34
Q

How is electroplating used in electrolysis

A

placing the metal to be electroplated at the negative electrode (cathode) and the coating metal at the positive electrode (anode).
