Yes, it can. What happens is sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are generated at the cathode (negative electrode), whereas hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas or oxygen or both are liberated at the anode (positive electrode).

Explain how Volta used Galvani's observation to develop a relationship between chemical energy and electrical energy?
Volta used Galvani's observation and hypothesized that it was not electricity but it was a chemical reaction. The two metals and the salty fluids in the frogs leg tissue made a current. So chemical energy and electrical energy are related because the chemical energy can be made into electrical energy. I hope that this information helped you in understanding the relationship between chemical energy and electrical energy.signature,k.p
Muscle tissue that is lost is replaced by noncontractile?
connective tissue
How much sodium hydroxide will kill a person?
NaOH is not particularly toxic but it is extremely corrosive. Depending on the route of entry, a lethal exposure could range upwards from a few milliliters. A person would notice the exposure immediately and attempt to wash it off because of the pain associated with the tissue destruction.
What is potassium's date of discovery?
Potassium was discovered on October 6th 1807. Potasium was discovered when a chemist spent a lot of time thinking that our urine was somehow gold, and so he gathered a lot of urine and evaporated it to get the crystals! But this wasn't gold it turned out to be potasium!
What is allis clamp?
The allis clamp is a surgical instrument with sharp teeth, used to hold or grasp heavy tissue, but can cause damage to the tissue. Because of this, is manly used in tissue about to be removed.
What is the use of electrical current to destroy tissue?
enterolysis
Instrument to burn through tissue using an electrical current?
electrocautery
What is Osteoclasia?
Absorption and destruction of bony tissue.
What is the destruction of tissue with electric sparks?
Electrocauterization
What is the medical term meaning destruction of a nerve?
Neurolysis is destruction of a nerve or nervous tissue. Neuropathy, in contrast, means any disease of a nerve or nerve tissue.
Which type of tissue carries electrical impulses from your brain?
Nerve tissue
What carries electrical signals that affect muscle tissue?
motor nueronsNerve tissue carries electrical signals that affect muscle tissue. Nerve tissue's function is to move and coordinate the way the body functions.
Cauterization is the destruction of tissue by scraping for therapeutic purposes?
False
What do you call a localized response to an injury or destruction of tissue?
Inflammation is the localized response to an injury or tissue destruction. Inflammatory Response inflammation infection, acute inflammation, cachexia
What is the type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
The nervous tissue
Why does stimulation of nerves with electrical current help stave off muscle atrophy for a short period of time?
Stimulation with a mild elecric current can keep the muscle tissue viable until full muscular activity can return.
Does connective tissue carry electrical impulses?
yes
