In the process of electrolysis current can flow through liquid why?

Ions in the liquid will respond to an applied voltage, and as long as these ions are mobile within the liquid, they can support current flow. Salt in water is a good example.
In solution, salt becomes sodium and chlorine ions in the water. Apply a voltage across (or through) the salt water, and the mobile ions will carry the electric charge which is current flow.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBecause of the presence of different salts in the electricity in liquid.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThis is because the liquid contains ions which are positively charged atoms and molecules. These ions move through the liquid much as electrons move through a metal.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe correct answer is negative ions are attracted to the anode
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoCurrent in liquids flow due to the flow of ions. Example in case of NACL solution Na+ ions move towards negative electrode and Cl- ions move towards Positive electrode.

In the process of electrolysis' current can flow through a liquid because?
The answer is that there are freely moving ions in the liquid.
How is electrolysis of water different from evaporation of water?
In electrolysis, an electric current is run through water and the water is broken down into its constituent elements, i.e., hydrogen and oxygen. In evaporation, the water is heated and it stays water, it just changes form from a liquid to a gas.
When substances change from a gas to a liquid what process is that?
This process is called condensation.
What state of matter must be supplied with the most energy to turn it into a gas And why?
Solid, because it goes through a longer process than the Liquid. Thus, the Liquid doesn't need as much energy as a solid.
What is evaparashan?
Evaporation is the process of a liquid being turned into a gas through heat.
In the process of electrolysis current can flow through liquid because?
in the chemical equations zn 2hcl znci2 h2 the reations are

What do you call decomposition of liquid compound by electric current?
It is called electrolysis.
What is difference between hydrolysis and electrolysis?
Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water and electrolysis is the chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.
In the process of electrolysis current can flow through a liquied because?
First, there must be some substance that is in the liquid that is able to dissociate into separate ions. In the case of water, such a substance may be as simple as salt. The reason this is needed is because, for a current to flow, there must be ions that can lose and gain electrons easily.

What is electrolysis simple answer please thanks?
The passage of direct current through an ionic liquid (either molten OR dissolved in something (often water). The idea is that the current causes the positive AND the negative ions travel in opposite directions - and thus can be separated.
Cost to make a electrolysis?
There are two common definitions for electrolysis, both using electric current. Scientists use electric current to cause chemical changes, such as converting liquid water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. It costs very little to do this experiment (see http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Oxygen-and-Hydrogen-from-Water-Using-Electrolysis). Electrolysis also refers to the cosmetic use of electric current to permanently remove body hair. The current both loosens the hair for easy removal and kills the root of the hair to prevent regrowth.
How a liquid change into a gas?
liquid changes to gas through the process of evaporation. then when a gas changes back into a liquid it goes through the process of condensation
How is sodium separated from other materials found with it?
Take a container with both elements and lower the temp. to -77 degrees; the liquid that forms is nitrogen & the other remains a gas. :)
What do you call the liquid that allows electric current to pass through?
Electric current does not need a liquid. It can pass in solids, liquids, gases, and even empty space. If it passes through a liquid, the liquid is called an electrolyte.
How does heat moves through liquid and gases?
Heat passes through liquid and gases through the process called convection. In solids however it passes through the process of conduction.
