H.W (3) Electrochemical Cells-G11 PDF

The document contains 20 multiple choice questions about electrochemical cells and electrolysis. Some key points covered are: - Electrolysis is the decomposition of a compound into its elements using an electric current. - An electrolyte is the liquid part of an electrochemical cell that contains ions that allow the flow of current. - Oxidation occurs at the anode. Electrons flow from the species being oxidized to the species being reduced. - The anode is positive and the cathode is negative. During electrolysis, ions migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode. - At the anode, positive ions are attracted and gases like chlorine or oxygen can form. Reduction occurs at the cathode.
