ELECTROLYSIS
Research
Learning Objectives
• By the end of the lesson I will be able to:
1) Describe the process of electrolysis using
keywords
2) State the general principles in
electrolysis
3) Predict the products of the electrolysis
of a specified binary compound in the
molten state
Keywords include;
• electrodes
• Anode
• Cathode
• Cation
• Anion
• Electrolyte
• You could use a diagram to illustrate this
Rules of electrolysis
Extension

observations made during the electrolysis of:
– molten lead(II) bromide
– concentrated hydrochloric acid
– concentrated aqueous sodium chloride
– dilute sulfuric acid
