GCSE Chemistry - Electrolysis Part 1 - Basics and Molten Compounds #40

The video tutorial explains electrolysis, focusing on separating elements in insoluble ionic compounds like lead bromide. It covers necessary equipment, including beakers, electrodes, and power supplies, and describes the process of ion movement in electrolytes. The tutorial details how electrolysis works by using electricity to split compounds into pure elements, highlighting oxidation and reduction at electrodes. It concludes with a preview of future topics on metal oxides and aqueous solutions.

Describe the role of the electrolyte in the process of electrolysis.

What is the definition of electrolysis?

What happens to bromide ions at the anode during electrolysis?

Explain how lead ions are reduced at the cathode.

What is the overall process that occurs during electrolysis?
