To explain what happens in an electrolytic cell let us examine the decomposition of molten sodium chloride into sodium metal and chlorine gas. The reaction is written below.

Predict the cathode, anode, and net cell reactions for each of the following electrolytic cells. Calculate the minimum voltage that must be applied to force the cell reaction to occur.

In this lab, you will build an electrolytic cell – an apparatus for carrying out electrolysis and use it to produce various gases and other chemical compounds. A diagram of a basic electrolytic cell is …

Electroplating is the process in which a metal is deposited (plated) onto the cathode of an electrolytic cell. It’s used to protect the surface of the base metal or to make the object more attractive.

This worksheet will cover electrolytic cells and their differences from galvanic cells. It will discuss the components, half-reactions, and mathematics of electrolytic cells.

role in the overall functioning of the cell. The operational characteristics of the cell (galvanic vs. electrolytic, direction of electron flow, reactions occurring in each half-cell, change in electrode mass, …

The process of electrolytic refining of metals is used to extract impurities from crude metals. Here in this process, a block of crude metal is used as anode, a diluted salt of that metal is used as electrolyte …
