Abstract
In this chapter we will be concerned with electrolysis experiments in which a significant fraction of the electroactive material is consumed. We begin in §7.1 with a discussion of some general aspects of electrolysis and proceed to analytical applications in §7.2. In §7.3 and §7.4, we explore applications of electrolysis to chemical synthesis, including examples from industrial chemistry. A short-circuited galvanic cell is a self-powered electrolysis cell. This notion will give us a useful model for a discussion of corrosion in §7.5.
