Question

(iii) Write two applications of electrolysis in which electrode diminishes in mass?

Answer 1

1. The process of passing electric current and electricity to undergo a chemical reaction is called electrolysis.
2. The chemical reactions involve oxidation and reduction.
3. Since the process of electrolysis involves chemical change it can be used in many applications where the need for metal and metal ions is present.
4. Electroplating is the most important application of electrolysis.
5. Another important application is in the purification of metals.
6. The two important application of electrolysis is Electroplating and the Purification of metals.
