Question

Which are applications of electrolysis? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer;

• the splitting of pure water into hydrogen and oxygen
• the creation of a surface resistant to corrosion on metal surfaces
• the use of tools to etch a permanent logo on materials

Explanation;

Electrolysis is a process that involves forcing electricity through a liquid or solution called electrolyte to cause a reaction to occur.

Electrolysis has many applications and uses. These includes;

• Anodization which is an electrolytic process that makes the surface of metals resistant to corrosion.
• Production of oxygen for spacecraft and nuclear submarines.
• Electroplating is used in layering metals to fortify them. Electroplating is used in many industries for functional or decorative purposes, as in vehicle bodies and nickel coins.
• Production of hydrogen for fuel, using a cheap source of electrical energy.
• Electrolytic Etching of metal surfaces like tools or knives with a permanent mark or logo.
• Electrolysis is also used in the cleaning and preservation of old artifacts. Etc.
