electrolysis

Postby 805329408 » Sun Mar 01, 2020 4:51 pm

when a problem states that a reaction is electrolyzed, can we assume that the reaction is non spontaneous?

Yes, electrolysis is a process used to use outside electric current to drive non-spontaneous reactions.

Yes, the reaction will be electrolyzed to allow it to proceed when it cannot otherwise proceed because it is non-spontaneous.

Well when it says electrolyzed it refers to the use of eternal energy and that occurs when a reaction is non-spontaneous.

Yes. The electrolysis supplies the external energy that can be used to drive a non spontaneous reaction.
