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
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.
