Electrolysis

Question 1

define electrolytes

Answer 1

the chemical substance that conducts electricity by the passage of electric current

Question 2

define electrolysis

Answer 2

The process of splitting the electrolytes into their respective ions is electrolysis.

Question 3

describe the qualitative aspect of electrolysis

Answer 3

In the process of electrolysis, the cations move towards the cathode and anions move towards the anode

Question 4

define faraday’s law of electrolysis

Answer 4

faraday explains about the relation between the amount of substance liberated or deposited on electrode and quantity of electricity passed which is known as faraday’s law of electrolysis

Question 5

state faraday’s 1st law of electrolysis

Answer 5

It states that the amount of substance liberated from or deposited on electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed.

Question 6

state faraday’s 2nd law of electrolysis

Answer 6

It states that when same quantity of electricity is passed through different electrodes collected in the series, the amount of substance liberated or deposited is directly proportional to the electrochemical equivalent.

Question 7

define electrochemical equivalent

Answer 7

the amount of substance liberated from or deposited on electrode when 1 ampere current is passed for 1 second
