It was standardised...and the visuals helped a lot....teachers can't demonstrate experiments as visuals unless u go to a lab and there teachers can only show you what is in the limits of the lab....she can't just heat something upto 2000 degrees in a school lab

Hi everyone - we've got two mistakes to own up to here! 1 - the formula for Aluminium Oxide (at 0:20), should be Al2O3, and *not* Al3O2. 2 - the battery should be drawn with the shorter lines (the negative terminals) on the left, and the longer lines (the positive terminals) on the right. Sorry about that

Sir i have huge respect for you, i just discovered your channel, and now you helped me clear out something my teacher couldn't in just 4 minutes, short and simple. Thanks you Sir.
Finally , someone who can teach me the stuff I actually need to know all combined into one short video that I don’t get bored of, leave breaks so I am able to think bout what has just been said AND have all these videos for free for biology physics and maths as well, I appreciate this so much! Keep up the amazing work because this is how students should be taught. Everyone is saying this but I have learnt more from watching your videos than I have listening to my teacher for almost the whole of year 10. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! 😊

I really love these videos. I do electrolysis on a very frequent basis - that's how I found these videos while browsing. However, I cannot wrap my head around putting that molten metal into a beaker. I think "crucible" is the word you're looking for sir! :)
Thank you!! This is gonna be in my test and I didnt understand it, I do now :))
Love this lots of help
If there is more than one lot of ions that go to an eletrode do the less reaction ions gets formed and the others displaced?
thank you it was really helpful
I am a chemistry teacher, and i noticed that your electrolysis diagram's battery is wrong. The positive side is connected to the cathode, and the negative side is connected to the anode. This will cause the current to not work, as it should be the other way around. My ninth grade students pointed this out, and I just wanted to point it out in case anyone needs the help. Overall, I really enjoyed your explanation, and this was a helpful video.

Yes he has, the cell with the short line is the negative and is therefore the cathode and not the anode as shown
Very good, thank you. Shouldn’t the battery be connected the other way, or the electrodes swapped? I say this because I think the electrons will be repelled towards the anode, and the positive ions repelled towards the anode?

I am pretty sure in the power source the positive terminal goes to anode (negative) and negative terminal goes to cathode (positive). Anode is where oxidation happens and has negative potential. Cothode is where reduction happens and has a positive potential

Well, that is in the case of galvanic cells. It's the opposite in the case of electrolysis. To know more you can look it up.
You guys can also watch Tyler Dewitt's videos on Electrolysis,Electroplating,Galvanic cell.But some topics are left out there like Electrolysis of Aluminum Oxide and Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions.For that you can watch free science lessons videos.
Your formula for aluminium oxide at the start of the video is incorrect.

Why do the oxygen ions only escape into the air when their electrons are removed and not earlier? Is the strength of attraction of the anode greater than the upwards force?
@minaalwaseem3976

because its in ion form in the solution so when it removes electrons to the anode it becomes O2 gas so can float off

The reason why the Oxygen ion has a 2 is because oxygen is diatomic which means that having one ion cannot make a diatomic oxygen molecule, so you add a 2 on the left. For aluminium you only have one ion and one atom so there’s no need for balancing it with adding a coefficient

"oxygen is being oxidised" very interesting
