Question:
What current is needed to deposit 0.500 g of chromium metal from a solution of {eq}Cr^{3+} {/eq} in a period of 1.00 hr?
Electrolysis:
Some important components which make the process of electrolysis possible are listed below.
- Electrode
- External power source
- Electrolyte
This process usually happens in an electrolytic cell. This electrolytic cell is made up of electrodes (negatively and positively charged). These electrodes are placed apart from each other in a solution that contains negatively and positively charged ions. Electric current flows through these electrodes.
