Question

What are the steps by step procedure in performing electrolysis?​

Answer 1

${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

The electrolyte and the electrodes used in electrolysis form an electrolytic cell. When electricity passes through an electrolyte, the positive ions of the electrolyte move towards the cathode (negative electrode), where they gain electrons to become a neutral substance.

This is what happens during electrolysis:

• Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode during electrolysis. They receive electrons and are reduced .
• Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode during electrolysis. They lose electrons and are oxidised .

Answer 2

Electrolysis

STEP 1: GETTING THE STUFF

STEP 2: BUILD THE CELL

STEP 3: BAKING SODA-WATER MIXTURE

STEP 4: SETTING UP THE CELL

STEP 5: THE SCIENCE OF ELECTROLYSIS

STEP 6: TROUBLE SHOOTING

The materials you will need for this experiment are:

baking soda (it used to be salt but then I was informed that I may have been producing chlorine gas)

Hot water (enough to fill your container of choice)

a container preferably air-tight and definitely clear

a pair of screws (these will act as the electrodes you pass the

current through)

a battery (a nine volt will do nicely for your first try)

Space to work (I barely had any and that made it a lot tougher)
