Question
Answer
A gas which forms at cathode   Hydrogen  
🗑
Which ions are attracted to the cathode   Metals ions (or cations)  
🗑
The positive electrode   Anode  
🗑
Which ions are attracted to the anode   Non-metals ions (or anions)  
🗑
The negative electrode   Cathode  
🗑
How the metal ions become atoms at the cathode   Gain electrons  
🗑
A positively charged ion   Cation  
🗑
How the non-metal ions become atoms at the cathode   Lose electrons  
🗑
A negatively charged particle   Anion  
🗑
What state compounds must be in order to separate by electrolysis   Molten  
🗑
What is a charged particle   Ion  
🗑
What is oxidation?   Loss of electrons  
🗑
What is reduction?   Gain of electrons  
🗑
Describe how to make the ions in an ionic compounds mobile   Melt the compound or Dissolve it in water  
🗑
The charge formed on metals ions   Positive  
🗑
Is this a possible reaction at an anode? Mg+2 + 2e-  Mg   No, at the anode non-metals ions are losing electrons, non-metal ions are oxidised  
🗑
The charge normally formed on non-metal ions   Negative  
🗑
A possible reaction at a cathode? Mg+2 + 2e-  Mg   Yes, at the cathode, metal ions gain electrons, metal ions are reduced  
🗑
Is this an oxidation or a reduction? 2Cl-  Cl2+2e-   Oxidation, because electrons are lost  
🗑
Is this an oxidation or a reduction? Mg+2 + 2e-  Mg   Reduction, because electrons are gained  
🗑
What will be collected at the anode during the electrolysis of molten copper chloride (inert electrodes)?   Chlorine  
🗑
What will be collected at the anode during the electrolysis of copper chloride solution (inert electrodes)?   Chlorine  
🗑
What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten copper chloride (inert electrodes)?   Copper  
🗑
What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of copper chloride solution (inert electrodes)?   Hydrogen  
🗑
What will be collected at the anode during the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution (inert electrodes)?   Oxygen  
🗑
What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution (inert electrodes)?   Copper  
🗑
What will be collected at the anode during the electrolysis of sodium sulfate solution (inert electrodes)?   Oxygen  
🗑
What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of sodium sulfate solution (inert electrodes)?   Hydrogen  
🗑
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the cathode during electrolysis, in terms of electron transfer   At the Cathode, the metal ion gains electrons: it is a reduction [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?]  
🗑
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the anode during electrolysis with INERT electrode, in terms of electron transfer   At the Anode, the non-metal ion lose electrons: it is an oxidation [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?]  
🗑
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the anode during electrolysis with ACTIVE electrode, in terms of electron transfer   At the Anode, the Copper metal ATOMS lose electrons to form IONS; the copper ion dissolve in solution: it is an oxidation [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?]  
🗑
Why does an ionic compound only conduct electricity when molten?   ions are free to move  
🗑
What are the electrodes made of in the purification of copper?   Copper metal  
🗑
What are the ions in molten Copper Chloride?   Copper ions and Chloride ions  
🗑
What are the ions in Copper Chloride solutions?   Copper ions, Hydrogen ions, Hydroxide ions and Chloride ions  
🗑
