THE Ultimate Taskbook: GCSE Chemistry Electrolysis of molten ionic compounds and aqueous solutions

This ULTIMATE Taskbook of Electrolysis covers the key concepts of setting up an electrolytic cell, the movement of ions in molten ionic compounds and aqueous ionic solutions and explores the industrial use of cryolite and bauxite in the extraction of molten aluminium.

The Taskbook contains a range of activities from word searches, crosswords and word fit puzzles to true or false, match ups and word fill tasks.

Aimed at Year 10-11 as revision or a teaching tool alongside classroom practice. It hits AQA, OCR and Edexcel specifications.

Content includes:
• Matching the key word to its definition
• Labelling a typical electrolysis cell set up
• The electrolysis of molten ionic compounds: lead(II) bromide including finding the ionic charges, gap fills, labelling of electrolytic cell and a close up of the situations at the cathode and anode.
• The electrolysis of aqueous solutions: sodium chloride (brine) including drawing atomic and ionic structures of sodium and chlorine, adding charges to ions, gap fill, writing half equations, oxidation and reduction reactions and true or false questions.
• The electrolysis of aluminium oxide including a flow diagram gap fill, complete and balance the chemical equation and labelling the diagram.
• Activities: cross word, word search, word fit. Bonus also included as extension tasks for learners to use the coloured squares to rearrange to find the answer to a question.
• Exam style questions.
• Exam tips and tricks and help boxes throughout the workbook.
• A feedback page for making in respect to target levels and working at levels, effort levels, achievement(s), target(s), learner response and learner’s own set target(s) as well as an award/ reward and SPaG box.

Simply print and go! All answers are included in the teacher booklet.
