  • It can lose an electron to become a positive ion
  • It gains an electron to become a neutral atom
  • It gains an electron to become a negative ion
Q.2
Pick the correct half equations to show what happens when PbBr is electrolysed.
  • Cathode: Pb+ + e- → Pb Anode: 2Br- → Br2 + 2e-
  • Anode: Pb2+ + 2e- → Pb Cathode: 2Br- → Br2 + 2e-
  • Cathode: Pb2+ + 2e- → Pb Anode: Br- → Br  + 2e-
  • Cathode: Pb2+ +2e- → Pb Anode: 2Br- → Br2 + 2e-
Q.3
What do we call the substance broken down by electrolysis?
  • Solvent
  • Solute
  • Substrate
  • Electrolyte
Q.4
When lead bromide is electrolysed...
  • Pb 2+ is reduced at the cathode, Br- is oxidised at the anode
  • Pb2+ is oxidised at the cathode, Br- is reduced at the anode
  • Pb2+ is reduced at the anode, Br- is oxidised at the cathode
  • Pb3+ is reduced at the cathode, Br- is oxidised at the anode
Q.5
Why does an electrolyte need to be either molten or in solution?
  • To ensure the atoms can move
  • To enable the ions to move
  • So that water ions can be involved in the reaction
  • So that the electrodes can be put in the electrolyte
Q.6
Pick the correct combination for the names of the positive and negative electrodes.
  • +ve anode -ve negode
  • +ve cathode -ve anode
  • +ve posode -ve cathode
  • +ve anode -ve cathode
Q.7
During electrolysis...
  • +ve ions move to cathode and -ve ions move to anode
  • +ve ions move to anode and -ve ions move to cathode
  • +ve ions and -ve ions move to cathode
  • +ve ions and -ve ions move to anode
Q.8
Pick the correct combination to show what is collected at each electrode when molten copper bromide is electrolysed.
  • Copper ions at the cathode, Bromine gas at the anode
  • Copper metal at the anode, Bromide ions at the cathode
  • Copper metal at the cathode, Bromine gas at the anode
  • Copper metal at the anode, Bromine gas at the cathode
Q.9
Electrolysis means which of the following?
  • Splitting up substances using heat
  • Splitting up substances using electrons
  • Splitting up substances using electricity
  • Joining up substances using electricity
Q.10
