Lesson 2
Electrolytic Cells
Learning Intention: Theorize what are electrolytic cells.
Success Criteria
4. I can identify the reactant and product for an oxidation and reduction reaction in an electrolytic cell.
5. I know that an electrolytic cell requires energy.
6. I can explain observations with linkage to specific chemicals in a redox reaction.
Learning Tasks
Do Now (Day 1): Complete the Week 4 Check-In. Random Question: what is your favorite movie? If you don't like movies, what was the last movie you watched?
Pre-Learning: Complete the ESA Reading and questions provided.
Make detailed observations on the electrolysis of copper chloride.
Do Now (Day 2): Complete the Week 4 Check-In. Random Question: What is your current snack obsession?
Copy down the notes on copper chloride.
Complete practice assessment style questions on electrolysis. You can pick any ionic compound and just write it up on the electrolysis assessment template.
AgBr
FeI2
AlF3
Do Now (Day 3): Which half of the redox equation is occurring at the cathode? At the anode? What are the charges at each electrode?
Study for your 1st attempt for the electrolytic cell, which will be assessed on Monday, March 11th.
