1
New cards

What would happen in the electrolysis of a solution, if the metal’s more reactive than hydrogen?

If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen then hydrogen gas is formed at the cathode.

2
New cards

What’s attracted to the cathode and what does it do?

The H⁺ ions from the ionisation of water are attracted to the cathode and react with it.

3
New cards

What do the H⁺ ions gain and form?

The H⁺ ions gain electrons from the cathode and form hydrogen gas.

4
New cards

Write the symbol equation for hydrogen formed at the cathode:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂

5
New cards

What will remain in solution?

The metal ions.
