Electrolysis
Electrolysis is defined as the process of breaking down ionic compounds into their constituent elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid state. The cathode reduces cations, while the anode oxidizes anions. An electroly…

Chapter 17.11, Problem 17.17E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of energy required to produce 2000 metric tons of aluminium metal is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Faraday’s law of electrolysis is used to calculate the mass of the metal produced during electrolysis. According to this law, the mass of the metal is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the number of electrons transferred by a mole of the ion.
