The decomposition of a chemical compound in the molten state (or) in the solution state into constituent elements under the influence of an applied EMF is called electrolysis.
First Law : It states that “The amount of substance liberated, deposited (or) dissolved at an electrode
during the electrolysis of an electrolyte is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed
through the electrolyte.
