0 a device containing an electrolyte and two electrodes, either used for producing electricity through a chemical reaction or for producing a chemical change in a liquid by electrolysis
It was as if in each electrolytic cell atoms of matter and atoms of electricity travelled together.
Or we may, by the help of some artifice, decompose a solution in any electrolytic cell by connecting only one pole of the cell to the line or source of energy.
An electrolytic cell has three component parts: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a cathode and an anode).
The cell is connected to an electrical power supply, allowing electrons to migrate from the power supply to the electrolytic cell.
In an electrolytic cell the overpotential requires more energy than thermodynamically expected to drive a reaction.
The mercury is recycled into the electrolytic cell.
The decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen can be performed in an electrolytic cell.
The current efficiency of the refining process depends, in part, on how close the anodes and cathodes can be placed in the electrolytic cell.
