Electrolysis

The chapter "Electrolysis" delves into the fascinating realm of electrochemical processes. It explores the principles behind the use of electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions, breaking down compounds into their constituent elements or ions. Students learn about the various components of an electrolytic cell, including the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. They also gain an understanding of Faraday's laws, which govern the quantitative aspects of electrolysis, helping to calculate the amount of substance produced or consumed during the process. Electrolysis has practical applications in industries such as metallurgy, electroplating, and water purification, making this chapter crucial for comprehending these processes.
