Electrolytic Cells Laboratory

Click on the blue "experiment" tab and then click on the blue button in the middle of the screen "Run demonstration". Follow the instructions in the simulation to complete the DEMONSTRATION before answering the questions in this formative. If you are unable to view the simulation in this formative (or it is being cut off on your ipad), then click on this link to open it in a separate window:

Question 1
1.

Why do you think DC (direct current) must be supplied by the power box?

Question 2
2.

Question 3
3.

Explain your answer by refering to the process that is taking place at the anode (you may want to look at the microscopic view).

Question 4
4.

Question 5
5.

Explain your answer by refering to the process that is taking place at the cathode (you may want to look at the microscopic view).

Question 6
6.

Question 7
7.

Explain your reasoning for your previous answer

Question 8
8.

Do you think the colour of the solution will change? Explain what change will be observed (if any) and explain your reasoning.

The mass of the anode:
increased
decreased
remained unchanged
The mass of the cathode:
increased
decreased
remained unchanged
Which statement is correct?
The mass lost at one electrode is greater than the mass gained at another electrode
The mass gained and lost at the electrodes is the same
