Electrolysis of aqueous solution
Water is the solvent for the ionic compound.
Ions from salt solution
Ions from water
Which ion is chosen to be discharged ?
Factors that affect the electrolysis of aqueous solution
(i) Position of ions in the Electrochemical Series.

Note:Electrolysis
Electrolysis
Definition :
1.Electrolysis is a process whereby compounds in either molten or aqueous state are broken down into their constituent by passing electricity through them.
2.The electrolysis cell is the set of apparatus needed to conduct electrolysis.
It should consist of the followings:
* battery
* an electrolyte
* two electrodes
![]() |
3.
4.The electrode which is connected to negative terminal of an electric source is called the cathode while the electrode which is connected to the positive terminal of an electric source is called the anode.
5.Electric current flow from the positive terminal of batte
ry to anode then to cathode through electrolyte and back to negative terminal of battery.
6.Observation : Deflacted of ammeter needle.
Electrolysis process have 2 types :
(a) Electrolysis of molten compound
(b) Electrolysis of aqueous solution
Factors that affect the electrolysis of aqueous solution
Ø Position of ions in the Electrochemical Series.
Ø Types of electrode used in the electrolysis.
Ø Concentration of ions in the electrolytes.
Note:Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes
Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes
Electrolytes | Non-electrolytes |
Substances that can conduct electricity when they are in molten states or aqueous solution and undergo chemical changes | Non electrolytes are substances that cannot conduct electricity either in molten state or aqueous solution. |
Examples : dilute acids and alkalis molten zinc bromide sodium chloride solution
| Examples : naphthalene, benzene alcohol tetrachloromethane |
Here are some exercises you can try...Enjoy and have fun !!!
Classify the following into electrolytes and non-electrolytes.
(a). Hydorchloric acid:_______________
(b). Ammonia solution:_________________
(c). Glucose solution:________________
(d). Solid sodium chloride:______________
(e). Molten lead:____________________
(f). Zinc sulphate solution:______________
Note:Electrochemistry
ELECTROCHEMISTRY
To investigate interchange between chemical energy with electrical energy.
