Question:
Complete the following table about the study of migration of ions.
Compound at Draw and label the expected Explanation
centre observation
(example) Permanganate ions are negatively
Potassium charged and have purple colour.
permanganate They are attracted by the positive
, terminal.
KMnO4 Therefore, a purple spot moves to the
filter paper with
purple spot
some electrolyte positive terminal.

1. Dichromate ions are

Sodium _____________________and have
dichromate, ________________ colour.
Na2Cr2O7 They are _______________ by the
filter paper with
some electrolyte _________________ terminal.
Therefore, an _____________ spot
moves to the positive terminal.

2. _____________________ ions are

Copper(II) positively charged and have
chloride, _________________ colour.
CuCl2 They are attracted by the
filter paper with _________________ terminal.
some electrolyte Therefore, a ______________ spot
moves to the negative terminal.

Form 3 Chemistry Chapter 7 Supplementary Exercise (Teacher)

Question:
Complete the following table about the study of migration of ions.
Compound at Draw and label the expected Explanation
centre observation after 30 mins
(example) Permanganate ions are negatively
Potassium charged and have purple colour.
permanganate They are attracted by the positive
, terminal.
KMnO4 Therefore, a purple spot moves to the
purple spot positive terminal.
1. Dichromate ions are negatively charged
Sodium and have orange colour.
dichromate, They are attracted by the positive
Na2Cr2O7 terminal.
Therefore, an orange spot moves to the
positive terminal
2. Copper(II) ions are positively charged
Copper(II) and have blue colour.
chloride, They are attracted by the negative
CuCl2 terminal.
Therefore, a blue spot moves to the
negative terminal.
3. Dichromate ions are negatively charged
Copper(II) and have orange colour.
dichromate, They are attracted by the positive
CuCr2O7 terminal.
Therefore, an orange spot moves to the
positive terminal

Copper(II) ions are positively charged

and have blue colour.
They are attracted by the negative
terminal.
Therefore, a blue spot moves to the
negative terminal.

4. No observable change.
Potassium
bromide, Both ions are colourless.
KBr
The migration of ions cannot be
observed.

However, theoretically, potassium ions

are positively charged. They are
attracted by the negative terminal.

Bromide ions are negatively charged,

they are attracted by the positive
terminal
