Question

Definition of Electrolysis​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a technique that uses direct electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is commercially important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell.

Answer 2

Electrolysis is the process of passing an electric current through a substance to cause a chemical reaction. If we concentrate on the word 'electrolysis,' we can deduce that it refers to the splitting or decomposition of a chemical substance utilising an electric field.

Explanation:

• The decomposition of a chemical compound by an electric current is known as electrolysis.
• Take a look at the electrolysis process:
• An 'electrolytic cell' is used to perform electrolysis.
• The electrolytic reaction is carried out in an electrolytic cell, which is an unique sort of instrument. It is made up of two electrodes – anode and cathode – at which the chemical material is decomposed through oxidation and reduction, respectively. The electrolytic cell is made up of two electrodes immersed in a solution. And the substance to be acquired can be in the form of an electrode (cathode), a solution, or it can be dissolved in a solution.
