Resource summary

Question 1

Question
What does the cathode attract?
Answer
  • Positive ions (metals and hydrogen)
  • Negative ions (Non-metals and group 7 elements)

Question 2

Question
Oxidation is gaining of electrons.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
What is Electrolysis?
Answer
  • Electrolysis is the breaking down of elements into smaller elements. The substance must be in a solution to allow the electric current to pass through.
  • Electrolysis is the breaking down of an ionic substance into ions. The substance used is called an eletriclyte and must be in liquid form.
  • Electrolysis is the breaking down of an ionic substance into simpler substances. The substance used is called the electrolyte and must be in liquid form.

Question 4

Question
Ionic substances contain [blank_start]charged[blank_end] particles called ions. For electrolysis to work, the ions must be [blank_start]free[blank_end] to move. Ions are free to move when an ionic substance is dissolved in water or when [blank_start]melted[blank_end].
Answer
  • free
  • not free
  • melted
  • frozen
  • charged
  • normal

Question 5

Question
Label the cathode and the anode on the diagram below.
Answer
  • Anode
  • Cathode

Question 6

Question
Electroplating is the process in which you are coating a cheaper metal with a more expensive one, such as copper or silver.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
The object to be plated, such as a metal pan, is connected to the [blank_start]negative[blank_end] terminal of the power supply. A piece of [blank_start]copper[blank_end] is connected to the [blank_start]positive[blank_end] terminal. The electrolyte is [blank_start]coppersulfate[blank_end] solution.
Answer
  • negative
  • positive
  • copper
  • lead
  • copper sulphate
  • copper nitrate
  • positive
  • negative

Question 8

Question
What are the two ways of making a substance ready for electrolysis?
Answer
  • Melt it
  • React the substance with a metal
  • Make the substance a solution with water
  • Put some universal indicator in the liquid

Question 9

Question
Which one of the following is not a reason for electroplating?
Answer
  • To make it a conductor for heat and electricity
  • To make the object look more attractive
  • To increase the hardness of the surfaces of the object
  • To protect a metal object from corroding

Question 10

Question
Sodium hydroxide is a strong [blank_start]alkali[blank_end] and has many uses including making [blank_start]soap[blank_end], making paper, making bleach, neutralising [blank_start]acids[blank_end] and controlling pH.
Answer
  • alkali
  • acid
  • soap
  • shower gel
  • acids
  • alkalis

Question 11

Question
[blank_start]Chlorine[blank_end] is used to kill bacteria in drinking water and in swimming pools, and to make bleach, [blank_start]disinfectants[blank_end] and plastics. [blank_start]Hydrogen[blank_end] is used to make [blank_start]margarine[blank_end] and rocket fuel.
Answer
  • margarine
  • butter
  • Chlorine
  • Hydrogen
  • disinfectants
  • cardboard
