13
Q

What’s happens at the anode

A

The chloride reduces at the cathode and gains an electron
The carbon oxidises at the anode and loses an electron
A current is created though the electrodes

A

Top and middle

22
Q

Reaction at the negative electrode

A

Al^3+ + 3e^- –> Al

23
Q

Reaction at the positive electrode

A

2O^2- –> O2 + 4e^-

24
Q

Carbon dioxide produced at positive with graphite

A

C(s) + O2 –> CO2

25
Q

Tests for cations (flame)

A

Dip platinum or nichrome wire into hydrochloric acid
Put this is flame to clean
Dip wire into new hydrochloric acid and then the solid of Li, K, Ca or Na

26
Q

Test for cations (sodium hydroxide and ammonium)

A

For NH4
Add sodium hydroxide and warm
If ammonium anions are produced them pungent gas produced and damp red litmus paper turns blue

27
Q

Test for cations (sodium hydroxide)

A

Copper forms a blue precipitate
Iron (II) forms a green precipitate
Iron (III) forms a brown precipitate

28
Q

Tests for anions (nitric/silver)

A

Add dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate solution
Cl white precipitate
Br cream precipitate
Iodide yellow precipitate

29
Q

Tests for anions (barium)

A

Add dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chloride to SO4^2-

White precipitate forms

30
Q

Tests for anions (CO2)

A

Add aqueous solution of solid and dilute hydrochloric/nitric acid to CO3^2-
Turns limewater cloudy and produces gas bubbles

31
Q

Test for hydrogen

A

Squeaky pop

32
Q

Test for oxygen

A

Relights a glowing splint

33
Q

Test for CO2

A

Bubble through limewater

Limewater turns cloudy

34
Q

Test for ammonia

A

Heat ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide and litmus paper with turn blue, UI will turn purple

35
Q

Test for chloride

A

Damp litmus paper- white

Moist starch iodide paper- blue
