Solution

Dear student,
The electrolysis is used in metallurgical applications the concentration of electrolyte does not change. This is because the amount of substance that would be deposited, is dependent on the amount of charge that is passed between the electrolytic.In the solution. electrolysis concentration of metal ion would be decreased,in this way the overall concentration wil be same.
with regards
