  2. Electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte

    Electrolytic conductors are used in electronic devices where the chemical reaction at a metal-electrolyte interface yields useful effects. In batteries , two materials with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed ...

  3. Dissociation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation_(chemistry)

    Dissociation in chemistry is a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into other things such as atoms, ...

  4. Strong electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_electrolyte

    In chemistry, a strong electrolyte is a solute that completely, or almost completely, ionizes or dissociates in a solution. These ions are good conductors of electric current in the solution.

  5. Electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis

    In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a technique that uses direct electric current (DC) to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction.Electrolysis is commercially important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  7. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    The conversion of solar energy into hydrogen by means of water splitting process might be more efficient if it is assisted by photocatalysts suspended in water rather than a photovoltaic or an electrolytic system, so that the reaction takes place in one step. [12] [13]

  8. Degree of ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_ionization

    The degree of dissociation α (also known as degree of ionization), is a way of representing the strength of an acid. It is defined as the ratio of the number of ionized molecules and the number of molecules dissolved in water.

  9. Electrolytic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_cell

    An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that utilizes an external source of electrical energy to force a chemical reaction that would otherwise not occur. [ 1 ] : 64, 89 [ 2 ] : GL7 The external energy source is a voltage applied between the cell's two electrodes ; an anode (positively charged electrode) and a cathode (negatively ...
