Question
Explanation
Number
9 (a)
Cryolite is added to aluminium oxide to lower its melting point.
Molten aluminium oxide is electrolysed using carbon electrodes.
Aluminium ions are discharged at cathode. // Al3+ + 3e Al
Oxide ions are discharged at anode.// 2O2 O2 + 4e

Copper (II) sulphate solution


(1.0 moldm-3)

Zinc is more electropositive than copper.


Zinc atom releases electrons to form zinc ions, Zn2+ in zinc sulphate
solution.
//Zn(s) Zn2+ (aq) + 2e

The electrons flow from zinc electrode to copper electrode through 1


external circuit.
At the copper electrode, the electrons are accepted by the copper(II) 1
ions, Cu2+ to form copper atoms.
//Cu2+ (aq) + 2e Cu(s)

9(c)

Silver can be used to electroplate the iron key.


The electrolyte is silver nitrate solution, [0.5 moldm-3].
[or other suitable metal and electrolyte]
The silver electrode is connected to positive terminal of battery // act
as anode.
The iron spoon is connected to negative terminal of battery // act as
cathode.

Anode
Half equation : Ag(s) Ag+(aq) + e

Observation : Silver electrode becomes thinner.

Cathode
Half equation : Ag+(aq) + e Ag(s)

Observation : A thin layer of shiny grey solid is deposited on the

Example:
Lead(II) sulphate
Lead(II) nitrate solution and sodium sulphate solution
Pb2+ + SO42 PbSO4
Test for Zn2+ ion
Procedure I:
A few drops of sodium hydroxide solution are added into the
salt solution of X until in excess.
Observation :
White precipitate dissolved in excess sodium hydroxide
solution to produce a colourless solution.

Procedure II:
A few drops of ammonia solution are added into the salt solution 1
of X until in excess.
Observation :
1
White precipitate dissolved in excess ammonia solution to
produce a colourless solution.
Inference:
Zn2+ ion is present
Test for SO42+ ion

5 cm3 of hydrochloric acid is added into the salt solution of X


follow by 2 cm3 of barium chloride solution.
Observation:

White precipitate is formed.


Inference:
SO42+ion is present.

Chemicals :
sulphuric acid and copper(II) oxide / copper(II) carbonate
50 cm3 of 1.0 moldm-3 sulphuric acid is pour into a beaker and
warmed carefully
Copper(II) oxide powder is added a little at a time into the acid
using spatula.
The mixture is stir well with a glass rod.
Copper(II) oxide powder is added continuously until some of it
no longer dissolves.
The mixture is filtered to remove the excess copper(II) oxide.
The filtrate is pour into an evaporating dish and heated gently to
produce a saturated solution / heated until the filtrate is
evaporated to about 1/3 of its original volume.
The saturated solution is then allowed to cool to room
temperature for crystallisation to occur.
The copper(II) sulphate crystals are filtered and dry by pressing
them between a few pieces of filter paper.
H2SO4 + CuO CuSO4 + H2O
