b)
- Impure copper is the while pure copper is cathode. During electrolysis impure copper is purified
and pure copper deposited on the cathode as shown in the half electrode reaction below;
CATHODE EQUATION:
Cu2+ + 2e Cu(s) √½
- The cathode is therefore removed and replaced after an interval.
7. Oxide of W has simple molecular structure while that of Z has giant ionic structure
10. i)
ii) I It’s uneconomic// Expensive// a lot of energy is required to produce this
high temperature
II Addition of cryolite Ö ½ mark
Describe how you would establish the presence of copper in the ore
13. (a) CuFes2
(b) Froth floatation
(c) 2CuFeS(s) + 4O2 (g) + Cu2S + 2FeO(s) + 3SO2 (g)
(d) Silica is added which reacts with iron (II) Oxide to form iron (II) silicate which forms
part of slag or SiO2 is added
d) Zinc oxide is reduced by both carbon and carbon (ii) Oxide to zinc vapour. Lead (ii) Oxide is
also reduced by both carbon and carbon (ii) Oxide to lead liquid
Accept equations
ZnO(g) + C(s) ___________ Zn(g) + CO (g)
17. ) Q = It = 3 x 10 x 60 = 1800
3F = 3x 96500c = 27g
\1800c = 1800 x 27
3 x 96500
= 0.16788g
b) i)
I- carbon IV oxide
II – Dil sulphuric acid
III – unreacted zinc
iii) Silica
iv)
I 2ZnS + 30 ________ 2ZnO(s) + 250 2(g)
24. a) i) The oxygen produced at the anode reacts with hot carbon to form carbon (iv) oxide hence
corrodes it therefore needs replacement
ii) Graphite is inert and a poor conductor of heat hence helps to conserve heat
