Electrolysis takes place when an electric current passes through water.
The enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative because heat is being released, so that takes out two of the responses. Since energy is being released into the surroundings due to the exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. Energy is being put in to make the reaction occur, but then that energy is all being released into the surroundings thus a lower potential energy level for the products
Chemists use balanced chemical equations as a basis to calculate how much reactant is needed or how much product will be formed in a reaction.

Chemical Property
<u>Explanation:</u>
When a substance is changed into another substance, may be due to addition of some other substance or removal of water from that substance.
* its identity changes
*its reactivity changes
*reactivity towards water, air and many other substances will change
*its chemical composition changes
and all these changes occurs due to the chemical properties.
If the physical property changes then there will be change in the state of matter, but its boiling point, melting point , reactivity towards water, air and other substances will not change, and it will not lose its identity.
