 QUESTION 9 (Start on a new page.)

 9.1    The diagram represents the apparatus used in the electrolysis of a
        concentrated NaCℓ solution. A and B are two carbon electrodes.

                               A                        B

                                         NaCℓ (aq)

        9.1.1 Define an electrolytic cell.                                                       (2)

        9.1.2 Write down the half reaction that occurs at electrode B.                           (2)

        Gas bubbles are observed at the cathode of the cell.

        9.1.3 Write down the NAME or FORMULA of the gas formed at the cathode.                   (1)

        9.1.4 Refer to the relative strengths of the oxidising agents to explain why
              the gas in QUESTION 9.1.3 and not Na, is formed at the cathode.                    (2)

 9.2    An electrolytic cell is using an impure copper electrode consisting of 95% Cu
        and a pure copper electrode. Copper (II) chloride (CuCℓ2) solution is used as
        the electrolyte.

        9.2.1   Is the pure copper the ANODE or CATHODE?                                         (1)

        9.2.2   When all the copper in the impure copper electrode has been
                deposited on the copper electrode, it is found that 6 mol of electrons
                were transferred.

                Calculate the initial mass of the IMPURE copper electrode.                       (4)
                                                                                                [12]

                                                                              TOTAL:            150
