Lesson: Electrolysis of Molten Salts Chemistry

Start Practising

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.

Lesson Plan

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.
