Electrolysis

[favy2008]

.with the aid of suitable examples and diagrams, discuss the applications of electrolysis. (definite examples required).

[argorstran]

I can suggest a couple of industrial applications of electrolysis for you (you can search the details on the internet ) :
1) The production of Aluminium
2) Electroplating

[sandyRoe]

Is it also a method of hair removal, or is that something different?

[Peter Pedant]

honestly there was to be a chapter in your txtbk on this

I would choose silver/copoper plating

silver on one side and Iron on the other (Ag and Fe)

the half equations are ag++ + 2e -> Ag
and Fe -> Fe++ + 2e

and elecgtrolysis of sea water in the production of .... is it chlorine or NaOH

anyway there will be a bit in the textbk on that

and yo need a third example

if youa re doing A level I would choose the PH electrode (because it is interesting)

if you are doing something less than that then the production of another metal - al - chromium, titanium, rhodium, mnaganese have all been produced by electrolytic processes I think

[Peter Pedant]

yeah
I agree

the wiki article is tops

and mentions all the processes we have
