Electrolysis Equations

Postby Amanda Pangelinan 3K » Fri Mar 01, 2024 8:55 pm

What factors influence the efficiency of an electrolytic process, and how do they impact the amount of product generated?

The material of the electrode, if oxidizing and reducing agents are in the electrolyte, and the potential of the electrode all affect the efficiency of an electrolytic process.

Things that can influence efficiency and generation include electrolyte concentration, temperature, mass transport, pH, pressure, catalysts, and others.

They impact reaction rates, efficiency, and more. Higher efficiency lead to more production. Inefficiencies and side reactions can reduce the amount of product.
