Aluminium, half equations and the electrolysis practical

Extracting aluminium with cryolite and carbon anodes, half equations at each electrode, masses of products, and the required practical on electrolysing solutions.

You will be able to

  • Explain how aluminium is extracted and why it costs so much
  • Choose the half equation at each electrode
  • Calculate the mass of a product from electrolysis data
  • Plan the electrolysis practical and test the products

25 minutes, 10 exam-style questions, with the Molar Mass Calculator.
