Electrolysis of Lead Bromide and Brine

This document contains questions and explanations about electrolysis. It asks about the products formed during the electrolysis of various molten salts and aqueous solutions, including copper chloride, lead bromide, sodium chloride, aluminum bromide, potassium iodide, copper bromide, calcium oxide, silver iodide, and lead iodide. It also discusses the reactions occurring at the anode and cathode and identifies the gases produced during electrolysis of molten lead bromide and brine. Tables are included for students to complete showing the products formed at the anode and cathode for different solutions.

1. One person names a topic.
2. All pupils write a key word to do with the topic on a piece
of paper
3. The person who chose the topic has 30 seconds to name
as many key words to do with the topic as they can.
4. If the word the pupil has written down is said they have
to sit down.
5. The aim for the topic chooser is to get everyone to sit
down.
6. The aim for the pupils writing down a word is to out fox
the topic chooser with a relevant but obscure word.
