Class 8 Practice – Level 2 - Set 1 – Chemical Effects of Electric Current
Total questions: 25
1.
Why is it essential to use a direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC) in electroplating?
AC currents are more powerful
DC helps ions move in one direction
AC prevents deposition
DC is cheaper
None
2.
During electroplating, which of these would typically be used as an electrolyte when coating an object with silver?
Copper sulfate solution
Silver nitrate solution
Sodium chloride solution
Distilled water
None
3.
What occurs at the anode during the electrolysis of copper chloride solution?
Copper is deposited
Hydrogen gas is released
Chlorine gas is released
Oxygen gas is released
None
4.
Which reaction can be explained by the process of electrolysis?
Photosynthesis in plants
Decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen
Rusting of iron
Dissolution of sugar in water
None
5.
In an electrolytic cell, what happens to the metal ions in the electrolyte?
They dissolve into smaller ions
They form gas bubbles
They migrate to the cathode
They evaporate
None
6.
When copper sulfate solution is used in electrolysis with carbon electrodes, what happens at the anode?
Copper is deposited
Hydrogen gas is produced
Oxygen gas is released
The anode dissolves
None
7.
Which type of substance would typically not conduct electricity in its solid form but would conduct in its liquid form?
Metals
Non-metals
Salts
Organic compounds
None
8.
How can you determine if a given liquid is a good conductor of electricity using a basic setup?
By observing the change in color
By using an LED that lights up if current flows
By boiling the liquid
By adding a magnet to see if it reacts
None
9.
Why might an LED glow faintly when testing certain liquids?
The LED is defective
The liquid is a weak conductor
The liquid is a strong insulator
The LED’s color changes based on conductivity
None
10.
When testing conductivity, why might a small bulb sometimes be used instead of an LED?
Bulbs consume less power
Bulbs respond better to insulators
Bulbs are cheaper
Bulbs provide a visual indication of current strength
None
11.
Which substance is likely to conduct electricity better: vinegar or pure water? Why?
Vinegar, because it has ions
Pure water, because it’s more abundant
Both equally, due to neutrality
Neither, as both lack conductivity
None
12.
In electrolysis, why do acids generally improve a solution's conductivity?
They form molecules in water
They release ions in water
They lower water’s temperature
They do not affect conductivity
None
13.
Why are silver and copper commonly used for electroplating?
They are inexpensive
They provide a decorative and durable finish
They reduce weight
They increase metal thickness
None
14.
If a spoon is electroplated with gold, what is the main reason for this process?
To increase the spoon’s weight
To make it electrically non-conductive
To make it shine and resist corrosion
To improve flexibility
None
15.
Why is distilled water considered an insulator, while tap water is not?
Tap water has no ions
Distilled water has a high pH
Tap water is acidic
Distilled water has no ions
None
16.
Which household solution would likely allow an LED to glow in a conductivity test?
Olive oil
Vinegar
Honey
Sugar solution
None
17.
Which property of metals makes them ideal for electroplating objects?
They can insulate the object
They are expensive and durable
They have the ability to form thin, uniform coatings
They reduce the object’s weight
None
18.
Why is nickel electroplated onto objects used in the automotive and kitchen industries?
To increase flexibility
To enhance color and prevent corrosion
To improve conductivity
To increase weight
None
19.
What gas is produced at the cathode during the electrolysis of water?
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Chlorine
None
20.
In which of the following cases is electrolysis commonly applied in industries?

Combination reaction
Oxidation reaction
Decomposition reaction
Neutralization reaction
None
23.
Which of the following would be a poor conductor of electricity?
Saltwater
Vinegar solution
Distilled water
Lemon juice
None
24.
When testing the conductivity of an unknown solution, which of the following would indicate it is a good conductor?
