why can't an
ionic solid
be
electrolysed
?
because the
ions
are in fixed positions and can't move.
why can
molten
ionic compounds
be
electrolysed
?
the ions can move freely and
conduct electricity
what are
molten ionic compounds
always broken into?
their
elements
e.g
molten lead bromide
what sort of material should the
electrodes
be made out of?
inert materials
, so they don't react with the electrolyte, (
graphite
, {
noble metals
:
gold
,
silver
,
platinum
},
copper
,
brass
)
what happens to positive metal ions at the
cathode
?
they are
reduced
to the element at the cathode.
what happens to the
negative
metal ions at the
anode
?
they are
oxidised
to the element at the anode.
