Question 1 Report
(a)(i) Give two differences between a conductor and an electrolyte.
(ii) State three applications of electrolysis.
(iii) Write equation for the reaction at each electrode when a dilute solution of sodium chloride is electrolysed using carbon electrodes.
(b)(i) What is an electrochemical cell?
(ii) Give two examples of primary cells.
(iii) Split the following equation into two balanced hall cell equations. Mte + Fe\(^{2+} \to Mg^{2+} + Fe\).
(c)(i) A current of 0.72 amperes was passed through dilute tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid for 3 hours 20 minutes. Calculate the quantity of electricity that was passed
(ii) If 1 dm\(^3\) of gas evolved at the cathode during the electrolysis of acidified water, what was the volume of gas evolved at the anode?
(d)(i) 20g of copper(II) oxide was warmed with 0.05 mole of tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid. Calculate the mass of copper (II) oxide that was in excess. The equation for the reaction: CuO\(_{(s)}\) + H\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) ---> CuSO\(_{4(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_l\) [0 = 16 ; Cu = 64]
(ii) What type of reaction was involved in (d)(i)?
