Unit 8.

1
1. a. i. (Indicator) bulb / lamp labelled [1] cells / battery /
power source labelled EEE
ii. ArrowS in clockwise direction
2. Electrolyte: liquid that conducts electricity
Electrolvysis: breakdown of ionic substance when molten or
in solution [1] by passage of electricity
Insulator: non-conductor [1]
3. Awith 3; B with1; Cwith 4; Dwith 2 (2 marks if 4 correct, 1mark if
2or 3 correct)
4. a. Good electrical conductor [1] low density / lightweight
b. (Fairly good) electrical conductor [1] strong [1]
5. Four substances having delocalised electrons (1 mark for each two)
e.g.graphite /metal (only 1allowed) / aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g.
benzene, phenol, graphene / nanotubes
Some substances containing delocalised electrons are molecules [1]
So electrons cannot flow from one molecule to another. [1)
Unit 8.2
1. Abattery / cell(s) / power supply [1)
Banode [1)
Ccathode [1)
Delectrolyte [1)
Arrows onexternal circuit from + electrode to power pack and power
pack to - electrode (clockwise). [1)
2 Reactive elements such as sodium are more likely to form ions than
less reactive elements such as silver, If a metal is more reactive
than
hydrogen, its ions stay in solution during electrolysis and hydrogen
arising from hydrogen ions inwater bubbles off. (1 mark for each
correct word)
3. (1mark for each 'cell' correct)

Electrolyte Cathode (H|Anode (+) Observations at the


product product anode

Concentrated hydrogen chlorine bubbles of gas, green

ZnBr(l) zinc bromine red-brown vapour


Dilute H,SO,(a) hydrogen OXygen colourless bubbles

Dilute NaCl(aq) hydrogen OXygen colourless bubbles

Concentrated hydrogen chlorine bubbles of gas,green


HCl(aq) when collected

Dilute AgNO,(aq) silver Oxygen colourless bubbles

4. a. Hydrogen formed at the cathode [1]because sodium is too


high in the reactivity series to be discharged [1)
Bromine formed at the anode [1]because halogens are discharged
more readily than hydrogen and the concentration is high [1]
b. Hydrogen formed at the cathode [1]because sodium is too high in
the reactivity series to be discharged [1)
Mixture of chlorine and oxygen formed at the cathode [1] Neither
concentrated, when largely chlorine would be discharged, nor
dilute, when largely oxygen would be discharged [1]

b. i. Achlorine [1]D hydrogen EEEEEEE
ii. R
i. Chlorine discharged more readily thanxygen [1]
from hydroxide ions in water [1)
iv. Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen [1]
So hydrogen is discharged preferentially / discharged instead [1]

vi. lons present in solution in brine are chloride, hydroxide,
hydrogen, and sodium (1]
Hydrogen and chloride ions are consumed at the electrodes [1]|
Leaving sodium and hydroxide ions in solution [1]
