The important basics to master electrolysis ; Able to write ionization equation to determine the ions present in molten or aqueous electrolyte : : NaCI (l) Na 2 O (l) AI 2 O 3 (l) -NaCI (aq) H 2 O -CuSO 4 (aq) H 2 O -H 2 SO 4 (aq) Example of aqueous electrolyte : H 2 O H + + OH - H + + OH - H + + OH - Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- Na + + CI - Na + + CI - 2H + + SO 4 2- 2Na + + O 2- 2AI 3+ + 3O 2- Example of molten electrolyte

Able to write half equation at the anode and cathode . The table below shows common discharge equations at the anode and cathode. Complete the table : Cl 2 + 2e 2e H 2 2H 2 O + O 2 + 4e + e Cu 2+ + 2e + 2e Cu I 2 + 2e Ag + + e - Half equation at the anode [ negative ion @ metal releases electron] Half equation at the cathode [positive ion receives electrons] 2Cl - -> 2H + + -> ( Very common cation discharge equation because hydrogen ion present in all aqueous solution . Hydrogen ion is always selected in dilute solution because it is less electropositive than most cation ) 4OH - -> ( Very common anion discharge equation because hydroxide ion present in all aqueous solution .Hydroxide ion is always selected because it is the least electronegative ion in the electro negativity series of anion . Ag + -> Ag Cu -> Cu 2+ -> 2I - -> - Ag -> -

(iii)Able to identify factor that affect selective discharge of ions for aqueous electrolyte : Factor When to apply How to choose the ion 1.Position of ion in the electrochemical series Dilute solution Inert Electrode e.g carbon / platinum The less electropositive ion is selected i.e H + /Cu 2+ /Ag + ion at the cathode The less electronegative ion is selected i.e hydroxide ion at the anode 2. Concentration Concentrated solution Inert Electrode e.g carbon / platinum The concentrated ion is selected at the anode but this is only true for halide ions, which are chloride, bromide and iodide H + is always chosen because K + /Na + ions are very electropositive 3. Type of electrode Metal electrode eg copper and silver. Metal atom of metal anode releases electron to form metal ion, metal anode becomes thinner. The less electropositive ion than hydrogen ion will be discharged . The concentration of electrolyte is unchanged because the number of metal atom become metal ion at the anode is the same the number metal ion become metal atom at the cathode.

ELECTROLYSIS IN INDUSTRY Electroplating Example : Silver electroplating Anode: Silver Ag -> Ag + + e Cathode : Spoon Ag + + e -> Ag

Silver atom the anode releases electrons to form silver ions ,Ag + and moves into the silver nitrate solution: Ag (s) Ag + (aq) + e - The anode becomes thinner/ smaller Silver ion, Ag + move to the cathode receives electron to form silver atom : Ag + (aq) + e - Ag (s) Silver is deposited onto the surface of the object as the object becomes silver plated. The rate at which the silver atoms become silver ions at the anode is the same as the rate at which the silver ions become silver atoms at the cathode The concentration of the silver nitrate solution therefore remains unchanged.
