Question

what is the applicable using of electrolysis?

Answer 1

An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. They are often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis—the Greek word lysis means to break up.

Answer 2

Uses of Electrolysis:

· Electrometallurgy is the process of reduction of metals from metallic compounds to obtain the pure form of metal using electrolysis. Aluminium, lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and in some cases copper, are produced in this way.

· Production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide

· Production of sodium chlorate and potassium chlorate
