Chemistry

?
Give three properties of metals.
Strong, bendy and conducts heat and electricity.
1 of 10
Describe the process of purifying copper by electrolysis.
The electrons are pulled off copper atoms at the anode (the positive electrode) causing them to go into the solution Cu2+ ions. The Cu2+ ions near the cathode (the negative electrode) gain electrons+turn back into copper atoms.

What is calcium hydroxide used for?
It is an alkali which can be used to neutralise acidic soil.
3 of 10
Name 3 uses of limestone.
Cement, mortar and concrete.
