Question

Explain the use of graphite in the manufacturing electrode

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electrode:

• Electric conductor, usually metal, used as either of the two terminals of an electrically conducting medium it conducts current into and out of the medium, which may be an electrolytic solution as in a storage battery, or a solid, gas, or vacuum.

Graphite as electrode:

• Graphite rods are used as electrodes in electrolysis because graphite's structure enables it to be an excellent conductor.
• The high number of delocalized electrons allows electricity to pass through graphite rapidly.
