Featuring lab demonstrations, engaging graphics, and clear explanations, this program explains the chemistry of electrolysis. Viewers learn the industrial applications of electrochemistry, including brine electrolysis, aluminum production, electroplating, and anodizing. The program also compares galvanic cells and electrolytic cells, and discusses the many applications of rechargeable batteries such as lead-acid, NiMH, and lithium-ion, before concluding with an overview of stoichiometric calculations and Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis.
