Electrolysis is a type of electrical chemical reaction.
00:05
Just like we had batteries, we have electrolysis.
00:09
And the relationship between a battery and an electrolytic system is that one is the reverse of the other.
00:18
So let's go once again back to the daniel cell.
00:25
So we have an anode and a cathode, a salt bridge and all that.
00:31
So what is going on? we have, let's put zinc, for instance, as our anode and copper on the other side.
00:42
Naturally, the electrons of the zinc will be transferred to the copper.
00:49
That's the natural flow.
00:52
But what if we want to do the reverse? say that i have a bunch of copper and i want to produce zinc...
