assuming u mean electrolysis of water, it would be whatever electrolyte u used( NaOH, NaCl, NaCO3) whatever. it is not consumed in the reaction as it is only a catalist

Why does electrolysis not occur unless lead II bromide is molten?
Because it has to be an ionic substance, either by being molten or by being in solution.
Breakdown of a substance by electricity?
This is named as 'ELECTROLYSIS'. The classic examples are ;- #1; Decomposition of water , using the 'H' pattern electrolyser. into its compoentn gases of hydrogen and oxygen. #2; The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution to form chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide, with the liberation of hydrtogen at the other electrode. #3; The electrolysis of bauxite (aluminium oxide) to form aluminium.
If you do electrolysis with copper electrodes in a solution of sodium carbonate what is the blue stuff left in the solution?
i don't know what u are doing wrong as u should not be able to oxidize copper with such a solution but it can only be copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2)
Why does the most dilute solution deposit more copper in electrolysis?
An electrolysis process is based upon movement and flow of ions. More is the solution dilute, more is the movement of ions and more is the conductance of solution. Thus, when the solution is dilute more copper ions flow to the electrode and get deposited there
Can you separate hydrogen in the sodium chloride solution?
NaCl itself will not render any hydrogen, however you can separate hydrogen from the water through the process of electrolysis. During electrolysis of NaCl solution, hydrogen will be evolved at cathode.
Explain why a substance needs to be either in a solution or molten for electrolysis to work?
Because electrolysis needs a liquid to conduct the electricity.
Why does electrolysis not occur unless lead II bromide is molten?
Because it has to be an ionic substance, either by being molten or by being in solution.
Are there dangerous byproducts from electrolysis on a solution of calcium chloride and water?
Electrolysis of calcium chloride solution release chlorine.
What is the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
1. The products of the molten sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium and chlorine. 2. The products of the water solution of sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
What is used as the anode in sodium chloride electrolysis?
For example titanium (electrolysis in water solution).
When a substance is decomposed by an electric current what type of reaction does it have?
This is electrolysis of a molten 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 does common salt break into during electrolysis of its solution?
The products of the electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
Which substance is left behind after you evaporate sugar solution?
Sugar is 'left over' because it is nonvolatile
Which substance is manufactured by electrolysis?
Aluminium.
What chemicals can be obtained from the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
Electrolysis of a water solution: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine..Electrolysis of molten NaCl: sodium, chlorine.
