- 4.4 Chemical changes
- 4.4.3 Electrolysis
- 4.4.3.1 The process of electrolysis
- 4.4.3.4 Electrolysis of aqueous solutions
- At the negative electrode (cathode), hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen. At the positive electrode (anode), oxygen is produced unless the solution contains halide ions when the halogen is produced.
- Students should be able to predict the products of the electrolysis of aqueous solutions containing a single ionic compound.
- 4.4.2 Reaction of acids
- 4.4.2.4 The pH scale and neutralisation
- The pH scale, from 0 to 14, is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, and can be measured using universal indicator or a pH probe.
- A solution with pH 7 is neutral. Aqueous solutions of acids have pH values of less than 7 and aqueous solutions of alkalis have pH values greater than 7.
- Students should be able to: describe the use of universal indicator or a wide range indicator to measure the approximate pH of a solution.
- Use the pH scale to identify acidic or alkaline solutions.

- 4.8.2 Identification of common gases
- 4.8.3 Identification of ions by chemical and spectroscopic means
- 4.8.3.1 Flame tests
- Flame tests can be used to identify some metal ions (cations). Lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium and copper compounds produce distinctive colours in flame tests:
- Sodium compounds result in a yellow flame.
- Potassium compounds result in a lilac flame.
- Calcium compounds result in an orange-red flame.
- Copper compounds result in a green flame.
