Electrolysis is the break down of an ionic compound using electricity. First the ionic compound must be melted or dissolved in water, so the ions are free to move. The electrolyte is the substance being broken down and the ions are always free to move in electrolysis. The negatively charged ions are the anions and they are attracted to the anode. The positively charged ions are the cations and they are attracted to the cathode. The cathode and anode are dipped into the electrolyte where there must be a gap between them.

Thanks sir ❤ very nice explanation
Thanks broski
thankful alot!
you sound like professor snape naturlly! love it
can I ask? I don't really understand that part when the pb at the cathode become two?
Too much good explaining 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

why do we write pb2+ and not pb+,i have had this doubt for a really long time pls reply
@KayScience
2 жыл бұрын
2+ means the ion has a charge of 2+ where the atom has lost two electrons causing the positively charged ion to have 2 more protons than electrons - Pb is lead
6:45 where did the chlorine come from?

how do u know which one of lead and bromide is positive and which is negative pls answer

The power supply is labeled
Why is it Pb^2+ + 2e-. I am a little confused as Pb2+ needs to lose 2 electrons to become Pb so I keep thinking it should be Pb^2+ - 2e-.
@KayScience

a Pb2+ ion is an ion where the lead atom has lost two electrons. To become an atom again the ion must gain two electrons to have a neutral charge and you can show this in the half-equation of Pb2+ + 2e > Pb ..... does this help?
Thanks

What were the electrodes made of

Can be made of graphite
You have wrote negatively charged anions will GAIN electrons to become neutral at the end, in Q5) that has to be a correction if I'm right

why does bromine gas form at the anode?
@walinthohirah1256
2 жыл бұрын
Because finally they form Bromine molecules after loses electrons,which is Br2 ,its is gas.

@Walin Thohirah what happens is the negatively charged bromide ions (Br-) are attracted to the anode (positively charged). At the anode each Br- anion loses 1 electron each forming bromine atoms. Two bromine atoms then form a covalent bond, forming a bromine molecule. Does that help?
so what is produced at the cathode and anode?
@KayScience
3 жыл бұрын
Lead is produced at the cathode and bromine is produced at the anode

@@KayScience Incorrect, Hydrogen is produced at the cathode, due to Lead being more reactive than Hydrogen as stated in the reactivity series. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@@Ok-up7ty this is the electrolysis of MOLTEN lead bromide!! The only ions in the electrolyte are lead and bromide ions, so hydrogen cannot be formed. You are thinking of an aqueous solution, however lead bromide is insoluble in water so the electrolysis of lead bromide has to be done when the electrolyte is molten.
I dont understand why Br- ions become a Br atom when it loses an electron. It has 7 electrons on the outer shell so shouldnt it gain not lose?
@KayScience
2 жыл бұрын
Br- ions have one extra electron than protons due to the -1 charge. A br- ion will have a full outer shell, so to lose one electron will mean the anion becomes an atom with a neutral charge where the number of protons and electrons are the same and they can each other out. Did that help?
