Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the OILRIG mnemonic for electrolysis?

  1. Oxidation Is Loss of electrons, Reduction Is Gain of electrons
  2. Oxidation Is Lowering of charge, Reduction Is Gaining protons
  3. Oxygen Is Lost at the cathode, Reduction Is Gas at the anode
  4. Oxidation Is Loss of oxygen, Reduction Is Gain of hydrogen
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Oxidation Is Loss of electrons, Reduction Is Gain of electrons
Award 1 mark. At the anode ions lose electrons (oxidation); at the cathode ions gain electrons (reduction). The other versions confuse electrons with oxygen, hydrogen or protons.

CXC CSEC Chemistry: Electrochemistry and Electrolysis FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Electrochemistry and Electrolysis practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Electrochemistry and Electrolysis questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Electrochemistry and Electrolysis typically tested on CXC CSEC Chemistry papers?
Electrochemistry and Electrolysis appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
