"विद्युत अपघटन": अवतरणों में अंतर

पंक्ति 43:
* Production of hydrogen for hydrogen cars and fuel cells; high-temperature electrolysis is also used for this
 
* Coulometry|Coulometric techniques can be used to determine the amount of matter transformed during electrolysis by measuring the amount of electricity required to perform the electrolysis
 
* Production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide
पंक्ति 53:
* Production of electrolytic copper as a cathode, from refined copper of lower purity as an anode.

* Electrometallurgy is the process of reduction of metals from metallic compounds to obtain the pure form of metal using electrolysis. For example, sodium hydroxide in its molten form is separated by electrolysis into sodium and oxygen, both of which have important chemical uses. (Water is produced at the same time.)
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* Anodization is an electrolytic process that makes the surface of metals resistant to corrosion. For example, ships are saved from being corroded by oxygen in the water by this process. The process is also used to decorate surfaces.
 
* A Battery (electricity)|battery works by the reverse process to electrolysis. Humphry Davy found that lithium acts as an electrolyte and provides electrical energy.
 
* Production of oxygen for spacecraft and nuclear submarines.
 
* Electroplating is used in layering metals to fortify them. Electroplating is used in many industries for functional or decorative purposes, as in vehicle bodies and nickel coins.
