Hi everyone - we've got two mistakes to own up to here! 1 - the formula for Aluminium Oxide (at 0:20), should be Al2O3, and *not* Al3O2. 2 - the battery should be drawn with the shorter lines (the negative terminals) on the left, and the longer lines (the positive terminals) on the right. Sorry about that
It was standardised...and the visuals helped a lot....teachers can't demonstrate experiments as visuals unless u go to a lab and there teachers can only show you what is in the limits of the lab....she can't just heat something upto 2000 degrees in a school lab
Some teachers r good some are bad but i bet none have a whole lab filled with melting chamber thingys and electron microscopes and accurate electrolysis equipment.
Sir i have huge respect for you, i just discovered your channel, and now you helped me clear out something my teacher couldn't in just 4 minutes, short and simple. Thanks you Sir.
Finally , someone who can teach me the stuff I actually need to know all combined into one short video that I don’t get bored of, leave breaks so I am able to think bout what has just been said AND have all these videos for free for biology physics and maths as well, I appreciate this so much! Keep up the amazing work because this is how students should be taught. Everyone is saying this but I have learnt more from watching your videos than I have listening to my teacher for almost the whole of year 10. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! 😊
Ah thank you so much Madeleine, it's so lovely to receive comments like this. Really glad you're enjoying the videos and that you're finding them so helpful 🤩
I really love these videos. I do electrolysis on a very frequent basis - that's how I found these videos while browsing. However, I cannot wrap my head around putting that molten metal into a beaker. I think "crucible" is the word you're looking for sir! :)
Thank u so much!!!!! I usually don't comment but this explanation was wayy too good not to. I didn't quite get this topic at first when it was taken in my class but now I understand 💯
I am a chemistry teacher, and i noticed that your electrolysis diagram's battery is wrong. The positive side is connected to the cathode, and the negative side is connected to the anode. This will cause the current to not work, as it should be the other way around. My ninth grade students pointed this out, and I just wanted to point it out in case anyone needs the help. Overall, I really enjoyed your explanation, and this was a helpful video.
Very good, thank you. Shouldn’t the battery be connected the other way, or the electrodes swapped? I say this because I think the electrons will be repelled towards the anode, and the positive ions repelled towards the anode?
@@rachelsteve5581 think of it like this: the conventional flow of current is positive to negative and the electrons are transferred from the anode ( the positive terminal ) to the cathode, right? now the positive side of the battery is drawn towards the cathode rather then the anode and the current can't flow that way. therefore the cathode ( the negative terminal ) will repel the electrons cuz like charges repel... I really hope this makes sense and helps you! :)
You guys can also watch Tyler Dewitt's videos on Electrolysis,Electroplating,Galvanic cell.But some topics are left out there like Electrolysis of Aluminum Oxide and Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions.For that you can watch free science lessons videos.
I am pretty sure in the power source the positive terminal goes to anode (negative) and negative terminal goes to cathode (positive). Anode is where oxidation happens and has negative potential. Cothode is where reduction happens and has a positive potential
Why do the oxygen ions only escape into the air when their electrons are removed and not earlier? Is the strength of attraction of the anode greater than the upwards force?
1.There is nothing called a carbon anode 2.Carbon dioxide is formed in the reduction of the carbon method 3.Carbon dioxide cannot be formed in the electrolysis method I MIGHT BE WRONG
Yeah the carbon electrode is also known as inert electrode The O2 gets dischrged at the carbon anode and due to hight emperature reacts with carbon in the the carbon anode to form co2 gas
By the way the diagram is wrong the battery is supposed be swapped as the same issue was in electrolysis part 1 As well as positive (longer line) always faces anode and shorter line cathode
The reason why the Oxygen ion has a 2 is because oxygen is diatomic which means that having one ion cannot make a diatomic oxygen molecule, so you add a 2 on the left. For aluminium you only have one ion and one atom so there’s no need for balancing it with adding a coefficient
nope, there's a little way to remember which is which, its called OILRIG Oxidation Is Loss of electrons Reduction Is Gain of electrons Hope this helps :)
@@hamzaibrahim8457 so theres 2 types of reduction and oxidation, If you say sodium was oxidised, it means you added oxygen to sodium If sodium oxide was reduced, you took away the oxygen from it so now it's just sodium OILRIG is talking in terms of electrons So sodium is oxidised as it loses electrons to become positive Oxygen gains them electrons from sodium to become reduced I just used sodium as an example by the way.
No, so basically, when it comes to OXYGEN the oxidation is gaining oxygen and reduction is loss, but when it come to ELECTRONS then oxidation is LOSS of electrons and reduction is GAIN of electrons

do a face reveal lol
you made a mistake....pigs are flying....am I dreaming?
at 3:44 there were three oxygen atoms, so whered the fourth one come from
please pin your comment
As If I care. Your teaching is so cool that not even nobody will see the mistake 😎 (Inside joke…Percy Jackson Reference)
nothing less than excellency! you've explained it in five minutes better than teachers did in 9 hours .

Sorry I meant positive ions repelled towards the cathode
Hi Ollie, Yes you're completely right! Sorry about that - we've drawn them the wrong way around! We've pinned a comment at the top to address this.
Hi thanks for the reply. No problem at all.
I didn't understand this.
@@rachelsteve5581 think of it like this:
the conventional flow of current is positive to negative and the electrons are transferred from the anode ( the positive terminal ) to the cathode, right? now the positive side of the battery is drawn towards the cathode rather then the anode and the current can't flow that way. therefore the cathode ( the negative terminal ) will repel the electrons cuz like charges repel... I really hope this makes sense and helps you! :)
Isn't the oxygen supposed to react with the graphite to form carbon dioxide after being discharged since it's hot enough?
At 5:44 shouldnt the 4Al be solid?
when it cools it will be solid it has been kept molten for the reaction to work but will cool after
If there is more than one lot of ions that go to an eletrode do the less reaction ions gets formed and the others displaced?
5:37 it was Al2O3 then it turned to Al and O2…what happened to the other O if it was O3?? I feel so dumb right now istg
Thank you for this video. Helped me a lot
you have made me the king of electrolysis
No
on the diagram don't you have to draw thhe cell the other way around?
Yes he has, the cell with the short line is the negative and is therefore the cathode and not the anode as shown
You guys can also watch Tyler Dewitt's videos on Electrolysis,Electroplating,Galvanic cell.But some topics are left out there like Electrolysis of Aluminum Oxide and Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions.For that you can watch free science lessons videos.
I am pretty sure in the power source the positive terminal goes to anode (negative) and negative terminal goes to cathode (positive). Anode is where oxidation happens and has negative potential. Cothode is where reduction happens and has a positive potential
Well, that is in the case of galvanic cells. It's the opposite in the case of electrolysis. To know more you can look it up.
Anode is positive while anion is negative. Cathode is negative while cation is positive.
Why do the oxygen ions only escape into the air when their electrons are removed and not earlier? Is the strength of attraction of the anode greater than the upwards force?
because its in ion form in the solution so when it removes electrons to the anode it becomes O2 gas so can float off
do other metal ores also get mixed with cryolite or is another process required for that?
Your formula for aluminium oxide at the start of the video is incorrect.
Cheers Chris just flagged it in the pinned comment 🤙
can anyone explain how i can balance the overall equation
getting ready for chem mocks
Thank you bro! learnt alot
Thank you so much your the goat

I thought Aluminum Oxide was Al2O3?
Love this lots of help
thank you it was really helpful
Wait..can someone tell me why aluminium is liquid at the end? Bcs i thought it was gonna be metal?
In solid the ions can't move
Oh okay thanks
Who’s here NOT because of an online lesson?....
Practice chemistry paper 1 test tomorrow lmao :D
I am just here cuz I like to watch this man's video. Besides, this knowledge is definitely going to help on any electrolysis questions.
Uh... Is the cathode and anode not the wrong way around in regards to the battery?
it is
When the oxygen reacts with the carbon anode, does it not react with the carbon to form carbon dioxide?
1.There is nothing called a carbon anode
2.Carbon dioxide is formed in the reduction of the carbon method
3.Carbon dioxide cannot be formed in the electrolysis method
I MIGHT BE WRONG
Yeah the carbon electrode is also known as inert electrode
The O2 gets dischrged at the carbon anode and due to hight emperature reacts with carbon in the the carbon anode to form co2 gas
@@aliabdullah6753 carbon reacts with oxygen to create co2 and that's why you have to replace the anode
@@indian-tech-support yeah you’re right
How come the product gave aluminium as liquid state? Can u elaborate pls.
Akei bazli I’m assuming it is because it was molten liquid to begin with though I may be wrong
the solid liquid was heated and therefore state changed to liquid
shouldnt he have used the shorter lines on the left?
Thank you so muchhh
Mashallah ❤❤
0:23 aluminium oxide is Al2O3 not Al3O2
Even though `I am studying at CIE Cambridge IGCSE... These videos are helpful
By the way the diagram is wrong the battery is supposed be swapped as the same issue was in electrolysis part 1
As well as positive (longer line) always faces anode and shorter line cathode
i dont understand why the half equation isnt the 2Al+^3+ 6e- -> 3al
why is it just Al
not 2al
The reason why the Oxygen ion has a 2 is because oxygen is diatomic which means that having one ion cannot make a diatomic oxygen molecule, so you add a 2 on the left. For aluminium you only have one ion and one atom so there’s no need for balancing it with adding a coefficient

@@Cognitoedu keep growing more and more☺️
Wait… if you melted the ionic compound wouldn’t its heat melt the electrodes?
Not if the electrodes had an even higher melting point
@@Big_Topic what if it doesn’t? People usually use graphite or platinum, but their melting points, while higher, are not the highest.
Hello to all the madhrasathul ifthithaah students 🇲🇻🦅🗣️📢
"oxygen is being oxidised"
very interesting
If u hv trouble remembering the Neumonic Remember " AN OIL RIG CAT "
Your positioning of the cathode and anode is wrong . Flip them around
i still dont get it
Maybe try free science lessons
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE SCHOOL
Why did we use carbon for the electrodes
Good conductor of electricity
And also cheap
Plus it won't involves in electrolysis process
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i think you made a mistake at 5:08 as reduction is loss of oxygen and oxidation is gain of oxygen but you said it the other way round
nope, there's a little way to remember which is which, its called OILRIG
Oxidation
Is
Loss of electrons
Reduction
Is
Gain of electrons
Hope this helps :)
@@omar.t975 but in the last video he said the opposite for extraction of metals
really confused here
@@hamzaibrahim8457 so theres 2 types of reduction and oxidation,
If you say sodium was oxidised, it means you added oxygen to sodium
If sodium oxide was reduced, you took away the oxygen from it so now it's just sodium

So sodium is oxidised as it loses electrons to become positive
Oxygen gains them electrons from sodium to become reduced
I just used sodium as an example by the way.
No, so basically, when it comes to OXYGEN the oxidation is gaining oxygen and reduction is loss, but when it come to ELECTRONS then oxidation is LOSS of electrons and reduction is GAIN of electrons
