Students should:

 

   

• know that electricity may only be passed by mobile electrically charged particles.

Demo: The electrolysis of molten Lead II Bromide: (B)  

• understand the reactions occurring at the electrodes during the electrolysis of molten salts.

The theory of reaction at the electrodes.    
• be familiar with the role played by the ions derived from water during the electrolysis of aqueous solutions. Exp 20: Electrolysis of Copper II chloride solution. (B)  
• be able to predict the products of electrolysis of molten and aqueous salts and construct equations for the reactions occurring at the electrodes. Exercises on the products of different solutions related to the metals position in a reactivity table and the mobility of the anion. (C)  

• appreciate the role of electrolysis in the extraction of reactive metals.

Expt 21: Effect of changing the conditions on the amount of copper deposited during electrolysis (D E)  

• appreciate the importance of electrolysis in the manufacture of some industrially important chemicals.

Data search: The manufacture of aluminium and sodium related to the year of discovery and the historical development of the two processes    

• be aware of the use of electrolysis in purification of metals and electroplating.

Test: Electricity in chemistry (C)
