Electrolysis Breaks down compounds into simpler structures (used in industrial processes)
-
Ionic substances are decomposed by an electrical charge being passed through them during electrolysis.
-
Ions must be free to move for this to work so the compound must be molten.
-
Sodium chloride is dissolved in water, hydrogen and hydroxide ions are present as well as the sodium and chloride ions.
-
Ion which is selected to discharge at an electrode depends on a number of factors.
-
Position of the ion in the electrochemical series affects its ease of discharge at an electrode.
-
