What is
The meaning of electrolysis and the difference between the electrolysis and the process that takes place inside the battery.
Answer to Problem 15RQ
The electrical energy is used for producing the chemical change in the electrolysis. The process that takes place inside the battery uses the chemical change to produce the electricity.
Explanation of Solution
The relationship between chemical change and electrical energy is studied in electrochemistry.
In electrolysis, the electrical energy (electricity) is used for producing the chemical change.
The process that takes place inside the battery uses the chemical change. The battery uses the chemical change (redox reactions) to produce the electricity.
Both reactions that is oxidation and reduction are exactly opposite to each other.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the electrical energy is used for producing the chemical change in the electrolysis. The process that takes place inside the battery uses the chemical change to produce the electricity.
