ELECTROLYSIS

The diagram shows the set-up of apparatus for an experiment. Positive ions which are attracted to the cathode during the electrolysis Negative ions which are attracted to the anode during the electrolysis Supply electric current As an electrical current detector. Deflection of needle shows flow of electric current 4. If the electrolyte used in the experiment is copper(II) chloride solution, name the anions and cations. (a) anions : .. (b) cations :.. State what happen to anode and cathode during the process. (Electrolyte used is copper(II) chloride). (a) anode : -.. ions are attracted to anode and . electrons to become The .. atoms paired together as . gas which bubbles off as .. vapour. - is released. Word equation: electrons (b) cathode : -.. ions are attracted to cathode and . electrons to become atoms. - A solid or solid is formed / deposited at the cathode. Word equation: + electrons

Anodes Electrolysis Battery / Dry cell

The process of decomposition of ionic compound (electrolyte) by electricity A liquid or solution which can conduct electricity. Contains positive and negative ions which move freely. The carbon (graphite) rods which are immersed in the electrolyte. Carry electricity from the source of electrical energy (battery/cell) into or out of an electrolyte Electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery Electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery
