CHEMICAL EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

I. choose the correct Answer:

1. b. oil
2. a. Cathode
3. a. Copper forms a layer on iron the nail.
4. b. Chemical effect
5. d. Acids and bases are good conductors of electricity

II. Answer in two or three sentences:

6. A) The gas formed at anode and cathode:
The process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is known as
electrolysis.

Hydrogen gas released at the cathode

Oxygen gas is released at anode
b. The volume of gas collected:
Here two moles of water undergo electrolysis and produce two moles of hydrogen and one
mole of oxygen gas.
Because the water molecule contains two hydrogens and one oxygen in its molecular
formula.
Therefore after electrolysis of water volume of one gas collected at one electrode is double
(hydrogen gas) of the gas collected at the anode (oxygen gas).
c. If dilute salt/ salt is not added:
Water is a bad conductor of electricity.
So, when a direct current is passed through the water it won’t conduct.
Therefore to make the electrolysis happen, a few drops of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to the
water in the electrolysis of water.

7. Liquid P is a better conductor than liquid Q.

The conductivity of the solution determines the amount of current flowing through the
solution. The greater the conductivity, the greater is the quantity of current passing
through the solution and the lesser the conductivity, the quantity of current passing
through will be correspondingly less. So, the conductivity of liquid P is more than the
conductivity of liquid Q.

8. Any two difference between anion & cation

 9. Mercury is a pure liquid metal it conducts the electricity, but it is not an electrolyte,
because an electrolyte is defined as a compound that ionizes when dissolved in
suitable ionizing solvents such as water, Where Mercury is a metal element not a
compound.

Water from the tap conducts electricity due to the small quantities of calcium and
magnesium salts that dissolve in it. This is due to the fact that water is not a conductor
in and of itself. When an ionic compound, such as salts, is dissolved, the ions become
loosely bound to one another, making tap water a strong conductor of electricity.

10. Any two points from the below

 To prevent rusting, corrosion, and surface abrasions
 To improve wear resistance, thickness, and surface uniformity
 To enhance the electrical conductivity and purity of metals
 To reduce friction and prepare surfaces for painting or re-coating
 To improve the aesthetics and appearance of metals

11. a. Sarah can electroplate brass ring with gold. Brass ring has to be placed at
cathode and gold at anode. Electrolyte should be a solution of gold salt.

b. ii copper

12. No. Impure copper should be placed at anode and pure copper at cathode. Or
the terminals of the battery should be changed to opposite directions.

13. Electrolyte is a substance that conducts electric current in its solution or molten
state.
Exs of electrolyte: Salt solution, Tap water
Exs. Of Non-electrolyte : Sugar solution, oil

14. Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of
electricity. In Salt water, NaCl can dissociate into Na and Cl ions. So, it can conduct
electricity
IV. Answer in detail
15.

To deposit a layer of copper metal on an iron object, take a beaker and fill it with copper sulphate
solution (electrolyte). Connect the plate of copper metal to the positive terminal (anode) of battery
and iron spoon to the negative terminal (cathode) of the battery.
