Electrochemistry |
Electrochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the transformation of chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. It deals with the relationship between electrical and chemical energy produced in a redox reaction.
In electrolysis, direct current is used to cause a non-spontaneous chemical reaction due to which chemical decomposition of electrolytes takes place.
It is the flow of electrons across the boundary, followed by a chemical reaction, that is, redox reaction.
