16. Is this ion electron equation an example of reduction or oxidation?
Cu e Cu
Reduction.

17. Is this ion electron equation an example of reduction or oxidation?
2Cl Cl e-
Oxidation

18. Electricity is the flow of ?
Electrons .

19. Why do batteries run out?
The chemicals get used up.

20. State an advantage of batteries over mains electricity
Batteries are portable.

21. What is the purpose of the ion (salt) bridge?
To complete the circuit.

22. What is the relationship between the position of metals in the electrochemical series and the voltage of a cell?
The further away they are from each other the larger the voltage.

23. What is the purpose of an electrolyte?
To complete the circuit.

24. What directions will the electrons flow in a zinc / copper cell?

28. What is corrosion?
A chemical reaction involving metals changing from element to a compound.

29. What are the two conditions required for rusting to take place?
Water and oxygen.

30. What type of reaction takes place when a metal corrodes?
Oxidation

31. How can you test to see if Iron has corroded?
Will change from an element to an ion, Fe 2+
and Fe 2+ can be detected as it turns Ferroxyl indicator blue.

32. Which terminal of a battery protects iron from rusting?
Negative

33. Why does salt speed up corrosion?
As salt is an electrolyte.

Prevents water and oxygen ( air).

35. What metal is used to galvanise Iron?
Zinc

36. Why does scratched tin plated iron rust faster then non –plated iron?
Electrons flow from Iron to Tin because Tin is below Iron in the electrochemical series.
