Module 5A Electrochemistry I

1. The document discusses various concepts in electrochemistry including electrolytes, ions, electrolysis of different solutions, and electroplating. 2. An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity in the molten or aqueous state due to the presence of ions. Non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity in any state. 3. Electrolysis experiments are described for aqueous solutions of magnesium chloride, dilute sulfuric acid, copper sulfate, and molten lead iodide. Products formed at the anode and cathode are identified.
