Question 1
Question
What does the cathode attract?
Question 2
Question
Oxidation is gaining of electrons.
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.
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.
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
