Best Answer

In order to electroplate with electrolysis, there are a series of steps that must be taken. The first thing that you do is place the item into an electrolytic bath. The object to be coated has to be connected to a negative battery terminal. A metal bar will be connected to a positive terminal. When the electric power is applied, this is called electrolysis.

simply by taking electrodes forming the cathode and anode and using an electrolyte.

in electrolysis cathode is connected to - and anode is connected to +. changing the connections will give you a reverse electrolysis.

What electrolyte can be used to electrolyze water?

anything that is not easily reduced or oxideized


What happens to the energy level as electrons are passed along in electron transport?

They begin to electrolyze, a term used for giving off static charge.


Do solutions have a definite composition?

Definite proportions, not indefinite proportions. What it says is that the composition of a compound is the same regardless of its state. For instance: Water is 11.1% hydrogen and 88.9% oxygen by mass. If I were to freeze water into ice, its composition would be 11.1% hydrogen and 88.9% oxygen by mass. If I were to vaporize the water into steam, its composition would be 11.1% hydrogen and 88.9% oxygen by mass. If I were to take ice, melt it, use an electrical current to electrolyze it into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, burn them together to form water, flash freeze the resulting water to a temperature of -200 oC, it would still have a composition that is 11.1% hydrogen and 88.9% oxygen by mass. That is what the law of definite proportions tells you.

What percent of gasoline burned in an ICE actually moves the driver?

Working on Hydrogen On Demand system. We would like to know % gasoline burned in engine. Currently we have 70% burned with rest burned in catalytic converters (2) for pollution control. We want to use HHO to get 100% burn as HHO burns at 5600 degrees F. What is best answer? HHO from electrolysis burns at abour 5600 deg. F. from our data. What temperature does gasoline and air burn in the engine? Seems hard to find data. - - - - - It's not THAT hard to find the temperature...the adiabatic flame temperature (a theoretical construct that assumes no heat loss) is 3500 degrees F. In the real world it's about 2800 F. The efficiency of a piston engine is about 20 percent. You've got to overcome friction in the engine, for one thing. HHO is not going to help you get 100-percent fuel burn. There are a lot of reasons you don't get 100 percent burning - they intentionally put more fuel in the engine than can be burned (it's called a "rich" mixture) because if you have too much air, the engine runs real hot and burns up. If you throw HHO in there, you'll get 100-percent combustion of the hydrogen...but when you dissociate water into HHO gas, you provide a perfect stochiometric ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, so there's no more air in there to burn gasoline than there was before. (Having said that, you will need less gasoline per stroke to get the engine to move because part of the fuel is hydrogen...but your engine will need more gasoline because it requires more power to electrolyze water than the hydrogen and oxygen can return to you when you burn it, and the place you're going to get the power to electrolyze the water is from your engine.) If it was me, I would forget about the overhyped HHO thing and put a really small turbo on the engine - not to get big big power, but to increase the amount of turbulent air flowing into the cylinders.
