elektrolüüsiga
Elektrolüüsiga, also known as electrolysis, is a chemical process that uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. It involves the passage of an electric current through an electrolyte, which is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in a solvent or molten state. The process typically occurs in an electrolytic cell, which consists of two electrodes (an anode and a cathode) immersed in the electrolyte.
During electrolysis, the electrical energy causes the electrolyte to undergo a chemical change. At the anode,
Electrolysis has numerous applications in various fields, including:
1. Industrial processes: It is used for the production of chemicals such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and
2. Electroplating: It is employed to coat one metal with another, enhancing its properties.
3. Water electrolysis: It is used to produce hydrogen gas, which can be used as a clean
4. Battery technology: It is involved in the charging and discharging processes of batteries.
The efficiency and selectivity of electrolysis can be influenced by factors such as the type of electrolyte,
