Electrolysis
Learning Time: 5-15 hours
Content: Electrolysis is the study of the process of triggering chemical reactions using electrical energy. This field covers electrolysis cell structure, Faraday’s laws, anode-cathode reactions, industrial electrolysis (chlor-alkali process), and practical applications. TYT focuses on basic electrolysis, while AYT focuses on efficiency and industrial processes. The current 2025 curriculum also covers hydrogen production and environmentally friendly technologies. Learning this topic lays the foundation for industrial chemistry and energy conversion.
