Electrolytic Cells
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- define electrolysis, electrorefining and overpotential
- calculate the yield of a chemical product from current and electrolysis time
- predict which products are thermodynamically favoured to form in an aqueous electrolysis reaction, and relate this to the chlor-alkali process
- explain how aluminium is won from its ore
- describe the process of corrosion of iron, factors that affect corrosion, and various methods of corrosion prevention, including cathodic protection and anodic inhibition
