Electrolysis
1. Fill in the blanks using the words below.

When we break down a substance using electricity it is called _______________.

Words:
The ______________ electrode is called the cathode.
cathode,
The ______________ electrode is called the anode.
positive,
The substance to be electrolysed is called an ___________________. It can be in
copper, molten form or __________________ in water.
dissolved, Metals form positive ions so they are collected at the _______________, whereas
electrolysis, non-metals form negative ions so they are collected at the _____________.

anode, Electrolysis is used in industry to extract reactive metals and to purify

negative, __________________. (8)

4. Fig 4.1 is showing a setup which is used to demonstrate diffusion in gases. A white smoky ring is
formed in the glass tube when ammonia particles mix with the hydrochloric acid particles.

Hydrochloric acid has a weight of

36.5.

Ammonia has a weight of 17.
