Electrolysis

#18
Front (Question)

What is the name of the ore that alumina is taken from

Back (Answer)

Bauxite

#19
Front (Question)

Why is alumina dissolved in cryolite

Back (Answer)

So it conducts electricity and lowers the melting point

#20
Front (Question)

What are the uses of aluminium

Back (Answer)

Cans Air plane chassis Cooking foil

#21
Front (Question)

What ions are always formed when the electrolyte is a solution

Back (Answer)

H+ and OH-

#22
Front (Question)

What is the rule at the cathode when the electrolyte is a solution

Back (Answer)

If the metal ion in solution is less reactive than hydrogen, the metal will form But if the metal ion is more reactive than hydrogen, the hydrogen will be formed

#23
Front (Question)

What is the rule at the anode when the electrolyte is a solution

Back (Answer)

If a halide ion (Group 7) is present, the halogen is formed But if there is no halide ion present, the hydroxide ion is discharged and oxygen is formed
