Learning Objectives

By the end of the lesson I will be able to: 1) Understand the process of electrolysis.

2) Explain how we can use electrolysis to extract aluminium from its ore.

Match up the words with their descriptions


Test for Oxygen Test for Hydrogen Electrolyte The substance being broken down Positive electrode Makes a popping noise when lit Splitting a substance using electricity Relights a glowing splint Negative electrode

Anode
Cathode Anion

Cation
Electrolysis

Positive ion
Negative ion

Electrolysis is splitting up substances using electricity (Lysis is latin for splitting)

What is electrolysis?
Electric current is used to breakdown a substance made up of ions An electrolyte is the name for the substance being broken down

Dont get stressed in the exam: Remember PANIC

Positive Anode Negative Is Cathode

Electrolysis Apparatus
Cathode (-ve electrode) power supply Anode (+ve electrode) Electrolyte

Aluminuim oxide electrolysis


Molten aluminium oxide is created by dissolving the aluminium in molten cryolite. This forms the electrolyte, through which electricity can pass. An electric current is passed through the electrolyte. This causes the aluminium oxide to split into aluminium and oxygen. Aluminium ions are positively charged (cations) and go to the.. Cathode Oxygen ions are negative (anions) and go to the... Anode

True or False
Electrolysis is the splitting of a substance using electricity. The anode is negative. Anions are negative Aluminium oxide is found in bauxite. Cathode is negative. Cations are negative.

Sodium Bromide Potassium Iodide

Anode

Cathode

Calcium Fluoride
Magnesium Oxide Lithium Chloride

= bromide ion = lead ion

O.I.L.R.I.G.
Oxidation is loss of electrons Reduction is gain of electrons

= bromide ion = lead ion

At the cathode: Pb+ gains electrons to form lead metal. It is REDUCED.

At the anode: Br- loses electrons to form bromine gas. It is OXIDISED.

Cathode

Anode

Cathode Negative Positive ions attracted REDUCTION happens here ( positive ions gain electrons)

Anode Positive Negative ions attracted OXIDATION happens here (negative ions lose electrons

Stand up sit down


1. One person names a topic. 2. All pupils write a key word to do with the topic on a whiteboard 3. The person who chose the topic has 30 seconds to name as many key words to do with the topic as they can. 4. If the word the pupil has written down is said they have to sit down. 5. The aim for the topic chooser is to get everyone to sit down. 6. The aim for the pupils writing down a word is to out fox the topic chooser with a relevant but obscure word.
