What are the two main components of an electrolytic cell?
Think about what makes up the functioning part of the cell.
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Recall the acronym OIL RIG.
What is the primary function of an electrolytic cell?
Remember its role compared to a galvanic cell.
True or False: Oxidation occurs at the cathode.
Consider the definitions of anode and cathode.
An electrolytic cell is used to deposit gold onto a surface. If 5.0 g of gold was deposited, how many Coulombs of charge were passed, knowing the equivalent mass of gold is 1/2 of its molar mass?
You'll need to use the molar mass of gold and the ratio for two moles of electrons.
If you needed to electrolyze 2L of water, how would the volume change with the addition of an electric current? What reactions occur?
Think about the products from water electrolysis and their states.
