Understanding Electrolysis

Electrolysis has important applications in everyday life - from the batteries in our portable devices to the production of common metals such as aluminium. Featuring lab demonstrations, engaging graphics and clear explanations, this programme looks at the chemistry of electrolysis. Two types of electrochemical cells are introduced - galvanic cells and electrolytic cells - and compared. The programme discusses the industrial applications of electrochemistry, including brine electrolysis, aluminium production, electroplating and anodising. Viewers are also introduced to the many applications of rechargeable batteries, such as lead-acid, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries before concluding with an introduction to Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis and stoichiometric calculations.
