What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a chemical process where an electric current causes a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, breaking down compounds into their elements or ions. It involves passing current through an electrolyte in an electrolytic cell.

Key Concepts & Definitions

• Electrolytic Cell: A device that uses electrical energy to drive a chemical reaction.
• Electrolyte: A substance that conducts electricity when molten or dissolved in water.
• Ion: Charged particles; cations (+), anions (−).
• Faraday's Law of Electrolysis: The amount of substance liberated at an electrode is proportional to the total charge passed.

Ionic Theory & Electrolysis

The ionic theory describes how ions migrate to electrodes during electrolysis, leading to chemical changes. See our ionic theory PDF notes.

Applications & Practical Uses

• Production of metals like aluminum, sodium, and magnesium.
• Electroplating of jewelry and electronics.
• Purification of metals.
• Production of hydrogen and oxygen gases.

Electrolysis of Water

Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases using electricity. See our detailed water electrolysis notes.

Advantages & Disadvantages

• Advantages: Purity of products, environmentally friendly if renewable energy is used.
• Disadvantages: High energy consumption, cost of electricity.

FAQs on Electrolysis

Q: What are the main applications of electrolysis?

A: Electrolysis is used in metal extraction, electroplating, purifying metals, and producing chemicals like chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide.

Q: How does Faraday's law relate to electrolysis?

A: It quantifies the amount of substance produced at electrodes based on the total charge passed through the electrolyte.

Q: Can electrolysis be performed on aqueous solutions?

A: Yes, electrolysis of aqueous solutions like brine produces products such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen.
