Redox
Under what conditions will ionic compounds conduct electricity?
Molten or aqueous
True or false- oxygen is formed at the anode of molten lead bromide
False
Continue the cathode reaction:
Pb2+ + 2e- --> ____
Pb
In which equation does electron transfer is shown,
full or half equations?
Half equations
When electrolyzing molten PbBr, bromine gas can be formed at the cathode or anode?
Anode
True or false- metal can only be formed at the cathode during electrolysis.
True
What is electrolysis?
Is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed(broken down into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them.
Give the usual oxidation state of oxygen in a compound
-2
What kind of reaction takes place at the cathode?
reduction
What is attracted to the anode?
anion
Negative electrode in electrolytic cell
cathode
True or false- Redox reactions must involve transfer of electrons. Other reactions might also involve transfer of electrons.
False- Only redox reactions involve transfer of electrons.
Why does electrolyte conduct electricity
Because it contains free-moving ions
