Edexcel 9-1 CC10a Electrolysis + CORE PRAC -Electrolysis of copper sulfate + GUIDE TOPIC 3 PAPER 1

Edexcel CC10 Electrolytic processes for the new 9-1 GCSE
Attached - powerpoints and CORE PRACTICAL plus student guide

Learning objectives:
LESSON 1 LOWER LESSON
To investigate the change in mass of the anode and of the cathode, when copper sulfate solution is electrolysed between copper electrodes
To explain how this process can be used to purify copper
To be able to answer evaluation questions

HIGHER LESSON
To investigate the change in mass of the anode and of the cathode, when copper sulfate solution is electrolysed between copper electrodes
To explain how this process can be used to purify copper
To explain the reactions taking place at the copper electrodes (H)

LESSON 2
LOWER
To process the results from last lesson (electrolysis of copper sulfate with copper electrodes)
To be able to explain what happens during the electrolysis of copper sulfate with inert electrodes
To be able to answer questions

HIGHER
To process the results from last lesson (electrolysis of copper sulfate with copper electrodes)
To be able to explain what happens during the electrolysis of copper sulfate with inert electrodes
To explain the reactions taking place at the inert electrodes (H)

Learning objectives:
LOWER LESSON
To understand the terms electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode and electrodes
To explain what happens to the ions during electrolysis
To explain what happens to the ions during electrolysis of NaCl
HIGHER LESSON
To understand the terms electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode and electrodes
To explain what happens to the ions during electrolysis of NaCl
To understand the reactions at the electrodes during electrolysis (H)

All extension questions available on each slide
Answers all underneath each slide
Support also available where necessary
AfL sections and mini quizzes
Reducing the need for photocopying
Homework- but no answers unfortunately (I will add them when I have more time)
Main topics include:
- What is an electrolyte?
- What happens to the ions during electrolysis in NaCl (brought forward from 10 b)
- How do you explain the product formed in the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
- HIGHER - How do you explain and represent the reactions taking place at the electrodes in electrolysis - using NaCl as an example
- Core practical Electrolysis of copper sulfate solution (using copper and graphite electrodes)
- purification of copper using electrolysis
