Question

What are electrolyte cells? plz. provide some info.

Answer 1

an electrolyte cell is an electrochemical  cell that under goes a redox reaction when electrical energy is applied . it is most often used to decompose  chemical compound ,in a process called  electrolysis - the greek word lysis means  to break up .  when electrical energy  is added to the system , the chemical  energy is increased similarly to a galvanic cell, electrolytic cell usually consist of two half cell . important example  of electrolysis  are the decomposition of water into hydrogen  and oxyen and bauxite into alminium and other chemicals. electroplating[e;g of copper , silver ,nickle or chromium] is permomed using an electrolytic cell an  electrolytic has three component  parts; an electrolyte and two electrodes [a cathode and a anode] . the electrolyte is usually  a solution of water or other solvents  in which ions are dissolved . molten salt such as  sodium chloride  are also  electrolytes . when  driven by an  external voltage  applied to the electrodes , the ions in the electrolytes are attracted to  an electrodes, the ions in the electrolytes are attached  to an electrode with the  opposite charge, charge-transferring  also called faradaic or redox reaction can take place . only with an external electrical potential  example voltage of correct polarity and sufficient magnituge  can an electrolytic cell decompose  a normally stable , or inert chemical compound in a solution . the electrical energy  provide can produce  a chemical reaction  which would nat occur spontaneously other wise.
