What is electrolysis?
Answer:
electrolysis is a method of separating bonded elements and compounds by passing an electric current through them. This can be seen in isolating copper compound from its ore.
its a method to get rid of unwanted hair. A needle is injected into the hair follicle and chemical reactions occur, then the hair falls out. Its very interesting!
Electrolysis is when electricity is used to break apart molecular compounds.
For example, passing an electrical current through water (H2O) breaks it down into H2 and O2.
Electrolysis is the use of electricity (electro-) to separate\ break bonds (-lysis). A common use is with water. A positive and a negative electrode is placed into a solution (containing water in this case) and an electric current is run through the system. The positive terminal (cathode) will collect negatively charge ions and negative terminal (anode) will collect positively charged ions.
1.Chemical change, especially decomposition, produced in an electrolyte by an electric current.
2. Destruction of living tissue, especially of hair roots, by means of an electric current applied with a needle-shaped electrode.
its a method by which you can break down compounds or elements in its positive and negative ions.
for example,
H2O ------electrolysis------->H2 + O2
NaCl------electrolysis------->... + Cl
It is a method of decomposition used to separate elements in pure substances (compounds) into smaller pure substances (elements) by using electricity (passing a current throught it, while adding a catalyst to speed up the reaction
