Redox and Electrochemistry · Chemical Reactions

Electrolytic Cells

Using electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous chemical changes, including electroplating.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does electrolysis differ fundamentally from the processes in a galvanic cell?
  2. 2What factors determine which ion will be discharged at an electrode in an aqueous solution?
  3. 3How is the mass of a substance produced related to the magnitude of the current applied?
