What else can I help you with?
How did Sir Humphrey Davey discover calcium?
he used electrolysis
Has electrolysis helped discover anything?
Yes, electrolysis has helped discover new elements, such as the isolation of sodium and potassium by Humphry Davy in the early 19th century. It is also commonly used in analytical chemistry to quantify the amount of a certain element in a compound.
What can you get from water?
Electrolysis of water produce hydrogen.
What is the name of the apparatus used to electrolysis of water?
The apparatus used for electrolysis of water is called an electrolysis cell or electrolytic cell. It typically consists of two electrodes connected to a power source, a container of water containing an electrolyte, and a mechanism to collect the gases produced during electrolysis.
What is used as the anode in sodium chloride electrolysis?
For example titanium (electrolysis in water solution).
What is the name of a process by which water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen?
It's an example of electrolysis. Not unwanted hair removal, but that does use the same process. Electrolysis is the process of breaking down compounds by running an electric current through them.
How can you get oxygen from water?
Electrolysis is an appropriate method for extracting gaseous O2 from water. The electrolysis of water gives:2H2O(l) > 2H2(g) + O2(g)
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.
How did electrolysis changes the water?
Water is dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen.
Why electrolysis does not take place in distilled water?
Electrolysis requires ions in water to conduct electricity. Distilled water lacks ions, so it has very low conductivity and does not support electrolysis. Adding a small amount of electrolyte (such as salt) to distilled water increases its conductivity, enabling electrolysis to occur.
What type of energy does electrolysis use?
Electrolysis uses electrical energy to break down water or other substances into their constituent elements through the process of electrolysis.
How do you separate the gases in water?
through electrolysis.
