Electrolysis of Molten Compounds
1.Electrolysis is a process whereby compounds in or

....................... states are broken down (or decomposed) into their constituent
.....................................by passing.............................. through them.
0.Anode is the electrode which is connected to the terminal of a

battery.
1.Cathode is the electrode which is connected to the terminal

of a battery.
2.Carbon or platinum is chosen as electrodes as they are chemically inert or

unreactive.
3.The diagram below shows the set-up of apparatus of electrolysis of molten

lead (II) bromide.
Activity 2: Name the main apparatus and materials in the diagram.

NOTE:
During electrolysis cations are attracted to the cathode and anions

are attracted to the anode.
Solid sodium chloride contains sodium ions and chloride ions which are in fixed
position and not freely moving.
In solid state, sodium ions and chloride ions are strongly attracted
by electrostatic forces in a lattice.
Electric circuit is complete due to the flow of electrons along the connecting
wires and movement of ions in the solution.

explain using examples factors affecting electrolysis of an aqueous solution,
write half equations for the discharge of ions at the anode and the cathode,

ions and two negative ions.

240111 The electrons then flows from the magnesium ribbon to the copper plate
through the wire and this results in the flow of electrical current.
Hence magnesium atom releases electrons more easily than a

copper
atom and the magnesium act as the negative terminal of the cell.
Sodium chi ride, NaCI solution
The overall equation for the reaction is
given as follows. Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) -->
Mg2+(aq) + H2(g)
Magnesium is placed higher than copper in the

electrochemical series.
At the negative terminal, each magnesium atom releases two electrons

and the Mg2+ formed moved into the solution.
Mg(s) --> Mg2+ (aq) + 2e
At the positive terminal which is the copper plate, the electrons are
accepted by the H+ ions in sodium chloride solution.

1. Definition of electrolysis is ...............................................................................

A. ELECTROLYTES AND NON-ELECTROLYTES

1.Definition of an electrolyte is a substance that can conduct in

2.Ionic compounds in molten state or in aqueous solution are electrolytes

3.A non-electrolyte is a substance that cannot conduct either

4.Covalent compounds are non-electrolytes and these substances contain

Solid lead(II) chloride, molten aluminium oxide, lead(II) nitrate solution,

6.2 Analysing electrolysis of molten compounds

A student is able to:

Electrolysis of Molten Compounds

1.Electrolysis is a process whereby compounds in or

0.Anode is the electrode which is connected to the terminal of a

1.Cathode is the electrode which is connected to the terminal

2.Carbon or platinum is chosen as electrodes as they are chemically inert or
