The process in which electric current is used to carry out a non-spontaneous redox reaction is called:
- A
Electrolyte
- B
Electrolysis
- C
Metallic conductor
- D
None of the above
Electrolysis is a process by which an electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change. A chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or reduction).
Electrolytes are substances that have a natural positive or negative electrical charge when dissolved in water.
Electrolysis is a process by which an electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change. A chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or reduction).
These are the metals that contain free electrons for the conduction of electricity hence metallic conductors a good conductors of heat and electricity.
This is not correct.
