20
Q

Electrolysis

A

Breaking up of an ionic compounds using electricity

21
Q

What happens to the positive electrode

A

Bubbles with gas

Eg ie if copper chloride was the electrolyte, then the gas produced would be chlorine

22
Q

What happens to the negative electrode

A

Solid forms

Eg copper chloride. Then copper solid would form
