WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL EFFECT OF THE ELECTRIC CURRENT

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student, Chemical effects of electric current is the property through which chemical reactions can be achieved in molecules when current is passed through them. For ex- when current is passed through water, water ionises or disassociates into H+(aq) and OH-(aq) ions, where H+(aq) ions go towards the cathode to gain electron to become stable and form H2 molecules and OH-(aq) ions go towards the anode to lose electrons and become stable,and, thus release O2 molecules.Regards
