Solution

Electrolysis process:

  • Electrolysis is a process by which electric current is passed through a substance called an electrolyte to effect a chemical change.
  • The chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or reduction).
  • In 1830, Michael Faraday showed that if electricity is passed through a solution of an electrolyte, chemical reactions occurred at the electrodes, which resulted in the liberation and deposition of matter at the electrodes.

Therefore, Michael Faraday showed that if electricity is passed through a solution of an electrolyte, chemical reactions occurred at the electrodes.
