  2. ELECTROLYSIS INTRODUCTION This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected GCSE Chemistry topics. It is based on the requirements of the AQA specification but is suitable for other examination boards. Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes and it can also prove useful for classroom teaching with an interactive white board. Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 Chemistry topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY WEBSITE at... www.knockhardy.org.uk All diagrams, photographs and any animations in this Powerpoint are original and created by Jonathan Hopton. Permission must be obtained for their use in any work that is distributed for financial gain.

  3. ELECTROLYSIS • CONTENTS • What is electrolysis? • Electrolysis of ionic compounds • Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride • Electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (brine) • Diaphragm cell • Electrolysis of aluminium oxide • Other electrolytic systems • Electrolysis of water

  4. ELECTROLYSIS Passing an electric current through ionic substances that are molten or in aqueous solution, breaks them down into elements.

  5. ELECTROLYSIS Passing an electric current through ionic substances that are molten or in aqueous solution, breaks them down into elements. The process is known asELECTROLYSIS

  6. ELECTROLYSIS Passing an electric current through ionic substances that are molten or in aqueous solution, breaks them down into elements. The process is known as ELECTROLYSIS The substance broken down is called theELECTROLYTE

  7. ELECTROLYSIS Passing an electric current through ionic substances that are molten or in aqueous solution, breaks them down into elements. The process is known as ELECTROLYSIS The substance broken down is called the ELECTROLYTE During electrolysis… Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode - CATHODE Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode - ANODE
