Carrying chemical reactions by the effect of electricity is called chemical effect of electric current.
Application of chemical effect of electric current :
1. electroplating : one metal is deposited over the other metal by electric current
eg:ornaments such as silver or other cheap metal are electroplated with gold to give them appearance of gold.
Tin cans used for storing food are made of iron electroplating with coating of tin.
Rims of wheel of cycle, cars etc are coated with Chromium metal o give extra shiny appearance.
2. Electrolysis:
The compound is decomposed into its constituents under the effect of electric current is called electrolysis.
eg:extraction of metals such as Aluminum
Production of H2 gas and O2 gas through electrolysis of water.
3. Refining of metals:
refining of metals such as Copper and zinc
