Electrolytic Cells and Electrolysis
Electrolytic Cells and Electrolysis: Overview
In this topic, we will learn about electrolytic cells and electrolysis. Here we will learn that an electrolytic cell drives a spontaneous redox reaction through electrical energy. Electrolysis, however, is a technique that uses direct current.
Important Questions on Electrolytic Cells and Electrolysis
On electrolysis of an aqueous solution of , the products released at cathode and anode are, respectively

Copper sulphate solution (250 mL) was electrolysed using a platinum anode and a copper cathode. A constant current of 2 mA was passed for 16 minutes. It was found that after electrolysis the absorbance of the solution was reduced to 50% of its original value. The concentration of copper sulphate in the solution at the beginning would be:
