Question

Define electrolysis and some examples also

Answer 1

Perhaps the most familiar example of electrolysis is the decomposition (breakdown) of water into hydrogen and oxygen by means of an electric current. The same process can be used to decompose compounds other than water. Sodium, chlorine, magnesium, and aluminum are four elements produced commercially by electrolysis.



electrolysis means the decomposition of an electrolyte by the action of an electric current passing through it

Answer 2

heyy!! dear here your answer--:

Electro-chemicalprocessin whichcurrentis passed between two electrodes through an ionizedsolution(electrolyte) todepositpositive ions (anions) on the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions (cations) on the positive electrode (anode). The entiresystemis calledelectrolytic cellwhich is used in several industries such aselectroplating, refining bauxite into aluminum, producing chlorine andcausticsoda fromtablesalt(sodium chloride), and in analytical techniques such as polarography. Basicprinciplesof electrolysis were discovered by the UK scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and weredevelopedby the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) winner of the 1903 NobelPrizein chemistry...

USAGE EXAMPLES*.The chemistry company usedelectrolysisin its lab to help create new molecules and make new ways of creating clean energy.*.Many new techniques in the modern health care area useelectrolysisto help cure patients of certain conditionsor symptoms.*.Many new techniques involvingelectrolysisare allowing businesses to come up with new quick solutions to some recent problems faster....hope its help u☺
