What is the name of the process for splitting apart compounds using electricity?
It is electrolysis becouse its a chemical reaction in which an electrical current is used to decompose a compound
Why do you use molten NaCl in electrolysis instead of an aqueous solution of NaCl?
Molten salt electrolysis is used to obtain sodium and chlorine. Electrolysis of the water solution is used to obtain sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
What kind of electricity is commonly used today?
AC, or alternating current.
How is electrolysis used to separate salt water?
Its the chlorine and bromine (or the halogens) that make the seawater salty. Basically, electrolysis is used to separate seawater from chlorine. This is used by passing an electric current through a solution of sodium chloride (salt) in water. The solution conducts electricity because sodium chloride is an ionic compound. So then there is a reaction and it gets separated.Its short but hope this helped.
When is electrolysis used for extraction?
for extraction of iron

What is it called when electricity is used to split up a chemical?
Electrolysis.
What is the first law of Faraday's first law of electrolysis?
First LawThe quantity of a substance produced by electrolysis is proprotional to the quantity of electricity used.
What is an electrolysis in science?
Electrolysis (coming from "electro", meaning electricity, and "lysis", meaning to cut) is the process whereby electricity is used to break apart a substance into two different substances. For example, electrolysis of water produces its constituent elemental gases, hydrogen and oxygen by this process: 2H20 + (electricity) --> 2H2 + O2
What is fradays law of electrolysis?
First LawThe quantity of a substance produced by electrolysis is proprotional to the quantity of electricity used. Second LawFor a given quantity of electricity the quantity of substance produced is proportional to its weight.
Is electrolysis a mixture?
Electrolysis IS NOT A MIXTURE. It is a process by which electricity is used to 'lyse' or split molecules into components. Electrolyte is a mixture used to rehydrate a person.It is a balanced mixture of various salts.
Were do you get hydrogen from?
Hydrogen is generally produced by electrolysis of water, where electricity is used to split it into its component atoms: Hydrogen and oxygen
What can electrolysis be used to do?
Electrolysis can be used to decompose chemical compounds.
Why do you need the Tesla coil?
Tesla used it to study how to supply electricity wireless. In his days, it was not allowed but some companies are manufacturing components that could supply little electricity.
Will an ion with a negative charge conduct electricity?
Yes, this is what is happening in the process known as electrolysis. Electrolysis may be used to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen, for instance. In this case, negatively charged oxygen atoms (ions) and positively charged hydrogen atoms carry charges which are neutralised at the electrodes which are connected to the source of electricity.
How many kilowatt-hours of electricity are used to produce 3.00kg of Magnesium in the electrolysis of molten MgCl2 with an applied emf of 4.50 V?
38.6 kWh
Is a power supply an electrical transformer that regulates the electricity used by the computer?
Yes it is.
