Lesson: Electrolysis of Molten Salts Chemistry • Third Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Chemistry sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the components of an electrolytic cell and predict the products of the electrolysis of molten salts.

Students will be able to

describe the process of electrolysis using a dc current,
explain the importance of selecting suitable electrolytes and electrodes for electrolysis to occur,
explain the movement of ions and electrons during electrolysis,
predict the products of electrolysis of binary, ionic compounds in the molten state.
