Electrolysis
This is a sequence of five lessons on Electrolysis. The lessons include:
1. An overview of Electrolysis
2 The Electrolsis of Molten Sodium Chloride
3 The Electrolysis of Aqueous Sodium Chloride
4 The Electrolysis of Copper Sulfate
5 A Summary of Key points on Electrolysis.
An Overiew of Electrolysis
This resource introduces the topic to students. There are several animations which should help visual learners. There are several quizes which should help assess the students learning. The types of processes covered in this resources should fulfil the requirements of all examination boards. If you find that this resources has too much detail, you may prefer to use it at the end of the topic.
Powerpoint Notes on Electrolysis
These PowerPoint Notes are excellent. They cover all the Notes Required for Electrolysis:
Electrolysis of Lead Bromide
This experiment demonstrates that conduction is only possible where lead(II) bromide is molten, and that metallic lead and bromine are the products of electrolysis of the molten electrolyte. This is a demonstration that can be done as an introduction to studying electrolysis
Electrolysis of Copper Chloride
This experiment enables students to carry out the electrolysis of copper(II) sulfate solution and to link their findings with the industrial electrolytic refining of copper.
Identifying Products of Electrolysis
This experiment enables students to carry out the electrolysis of various solutions and to investigate the identity of the products formed at the electrodes. They should be able to link their practical experiences with theory and learn how to construct simple ionic equations.
Revision Lesson
This website has several worksheets on GCSE topics including electrolysis. There are two work sheets on electrolysis that should suit all ability ranges
