CHAPTER 6: ELECTROCHEMISTRY
A. Electrolytes and Non Electrolytes
1) Electrolytes
Electrolytes are substances that can conduct electricity when they are in molten states or aqueous solution
and undergo chemical changes.
Examples of electrolytes are:
a)
b)
c)

dilute acids and alkalis


molten zinc bromide
sodium chloride solution

Electrolytes are able to conduct electricity because there are free ions present in the molten or aqueous
state.
2) Non-electrolytes
Non electrolytes are substances that cannot conduct electricity either in molten state or aqueous solution.
Examples of non-electrolytes are:
a)
b)
c)
d)

naphthalene,
benzene
alcohol
tetrachloromethane

In other words, all non-electrolytes are covalent compounds which do not contain ions and thus, they are
not able to conduct electricity.

What is an electrolyte?
Substances that can conduct electricity when they are in molten state or
aqueous solution and undergo chemical changes.

2.

Explain why a sugar solution does not conduct electricity while a common
salt solution conducts electricity.
Sugar solution does not have freely moving ions while salt solution do have freely moving
ions.

Info-Chemy
The word -isis actually means to break up in Greek.
The term Electrolysis was introduced later then by Michael Faraday.

B. Electrolysis of Molten Compound


Electrolysis
1.

When electricity is passed through molten lead (II) bromide, PbBr2 a reaction take
This is called electrolysis.

2.

Electrolysis is a process whereby compounds in either molten or aqueous state are broken down
into their constituent by passing electricity through them.

The electrolysis cell is the set of apparatus needed to conduct electrolysis.


It should consist of the followings:

place.

An electrode which is connected to the positive terminal of an electric source is


called the anode.
An electrode which is connected to the negative terminal of an electric source is
called the cathode.

In molten electrolyte, the ions move freely.


During electrolysis, negative ions (anions) move to anode.
Positive ions (cations) move to chatode.
A new substance then formed at each electrode.

Lead (II) bromide, PbBr2 is an ionic compound.


2+
Hence, it consists of the positive lead (II) ions, Pb and
the negative bromide ions, Br .
In solid lead (II) bromide, PbBr2, these ions do not move freely but are held in a
fixed positions in a lattice. When it melts, the ions are free to move.

4.

During the molten lead(II) bromide, PbBr2,


-

i) the negative bromide ions, Br are attracted to the anode,


2+
ii) the positive lead(II) ions, Pb are attracted to the cathode.
In the molten state, heat energy that is provided breaks down the
electrostatic forces so that ions are able to move freely. Thus we have:
2+

PbBr2 (s) Pb + 2Br

What happens to the cathode and anode?


5.

At the anode, two bromine atoms combine to form a bromine gas.


The half equation that we have are as below:
-

2Br (l) Br2 (g) + 2e2+

At the cathode, lead(II) ions, Pb undergo discharge whereby each of the ions
accepts two electrons to form a lead atom. The half equation are as follows:
2+

Pb (l) + 2e Pb(s)
7.

Combining the two half equations, we get the overall equation that represents the electrolysis of
molten lead (II) bromide.
2+

Pb (l) + 2Br (l) Pb (s) + Br2 (g)


The process of discharge can either be donating electrons or accepting electrons
Bromine gas, Br2 is red-dish brown in color and is poisonous.

porous pot.
4. The solution used in the salt bridge is usually a diluted acid or a solution of
sodium or potassium salts.

Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series. Thus it releases electrons more
easily than copper. Each zinc atom donates two electrons to form a zinc ion.The zinc ions
are released into the electrolyte. The zinc plate dissolves gradually.
Since the Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series. It acts as the cathode of
the cell(negative terminal).

Copper as the anode of the cell (positive terminal).The electrons are accepted by the
copper(II) ions to form copper metal. The copper plate becomes thicker gradually.

Qualitative Analysis of Salts

What is Qualitative analysis?


Qualitative analysis is a chemical technique used to determine what
substances are present in a mixture but not their quantities.

In the qualitative analysis of salts, we need to identify the ions that are present in salts. This can
be done by analysing their physical and chemical properties.

Observations on the physical properties of salts

Fill four test tube with salt solution of W, X, Y and Z


Add a strip of metal W into each test tube respectively
Repeat the steps above for metals X, Y and Z

Observation:
Salt metal solution
Metal

Deposit
X No deposit
Inference
1
Deposit formed when metal W is put in the salt solution of X, Y and Z
Metal W is more electropositive than metal X, Y and Z
2
Deposit formed when metal X is put in the salt solution of Y and Z
Metal X is more electropositive than metal Y and Z
3
Deposit formed when metal Y is put in the salt solution Z
Y is more electropositive than Z
No deposit formed when metal Y is put in the salt solutions of W and X
Metal Y is less electropositive than W and X
4
No deposit is formed when metal Z is put in the salt solutions W, X and Y
Metal Z is less electropisitive than W, X and Y
The descending order is

W, X, Y, Z

Conclusion
Metal that is more electropisitive will displace the metal which is less
electropositive from its salt solution.
