2. Electrolytes are used to conduct electricity.
3. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a compound in the aqueous state or when dissolved in water.
4. During electrolysis, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy.
5. The electrolytes are anions(negatively charged) as well as cations(positively charged).
6. Electrolyte concentration is used as the principle in separating ions based on their concentration in ion chromatography.
