23
Q

What do acids react with water to give?

A

H+ ions

24
Q

What do bases form when reacting with acids?

A

25
Q

What do alkalis release when they react with water?

A

OH- ions

26
Q

What are salts?

A

Ionic substances formed when acids react with bases

27
Q

Does copper react with acid?

A

No

28
Q

What is electrolysis?

A

The process where an ionic substance that is molten or dissolved is broken into elements using electricity

29
Q

What does PANIC stand for?

A

Positive is anode. Negative is cathode

30
Q

What charge is the anode?

A

Positive

31
Q

What charge is the cathode?

A

Negative

32
Q

What charge are anions?

A

Negative

33
Q

What charge are cations?

A

Positive

34
Q

What bonds do elements form at the anode?

A

Covalent

35
Q

How do elements leave the system at the anode?

A

As gaseous diatomic molecules

36
Q

What elements do bonds form at the cathode?

A

Metallic bonds with each other

37
Q

What happens in terms of electrons at the cathode?

A

Each positive ion accepts electrons until it is charged

38
Q

What happens to lost electrons at the anode?

A

They flow around the circuit to the negative electrode

39
Q

Why do substances have to be in a solution or liquid during electrolysis?

A

So ions are free to move

40
Q

What side of the equation do electrons appear on in oxidation?

A

The right hand side

41
Q

What side of the equation do electrons appear on in reduction

A

Left hand side

42
Q

Aluminium oxide -> aluminium + oxygen

Which are the cations and which are the anions?

A

Aluminium ions are cations and oxygen ions are anions

43
Q

What are electrodes made from?

A

Graphite

44
Q

What is used to dissolve aluminium oxide ore?

A

molten cryolite

45
Q

Why does the anode need to be replaced regularly?

A

It heats up and then reacts so breaks down - CO2 will start to be produced

46
Q

What happens to remains of disintegrated anodes?

A

Dismantled and new ones made out of them

47
Q

What does discharges mean?

A

Lost charge

48
Q

Which positive ions are discharged in a solution?

A

Ions lower than hydrogen in the reactivity series

49
Q

What is formed when H+ ions are discharged in electrolysis?

A

H2

50
Q

Which negative ions are discharged in a solution?

A

If the compound contains halide ions they are discharged. If not it’s OH-

51
Q

What is formed when OH- ions are discharged during electrolysis?

A

O2
