How Do You Spell ELECTROLYSE?

Pronunciation: [ɛlˈɛktɹəlˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The word "electrolyse" is spelled with the letter "y" instead of "i" in British English, which can be confusing for non-native speakers. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ɪˈlɛktrəlaɪz/. The "y" sound is represented by the letter combination "ly" and the stress falls on the second syllable. This verb means to separate a chemical compound using an electrical current, and it is commonly used in fields such as chemistry and metallurgy.

ELECTROLYSE Meaning and Definition

1. Electrolyse is a term derived from the noun "electrolysis," which refers to the chemical decomposition process facilitated by an electric current passing through an electrolyte, resulting in the separation of its constituent elements or compounds. As a verb, electrolyse means to undergo or carry out electrolysis.

   During electrolysis, an electrical current is introduced into an electrolyte, typically consisting of an aqueous or molten compound, causing the transfer of charged particles, either ions or electrons, towards the respective electrodes. The anode attracts negatively charged ions (called anions) or electrons, while the cathode attracts positively charged ions (called cations). The transferred ions at each electrode undergo chemical reactions, leading to the decomposition or synthesis of substances in the electrolyte.

   The process of electrolysis is widely utilized in various applications, such as electroplating, metal purification, water splitting, and the production of chemical compounds. For instance, electrolysis is employed to extract metals from ores, where an electric current is used to dissolve the metal ions and deposit them onto the cathode as a pure metal. It is also employed in industries to electroplate objects with a thin layer of metal for protection or aesthetic purposes.

   In summary, electrolyse refers to the act or process of performing electrolysis, where an electric current drives the decomposition or synthesis of compounds in an electrolyte, leading to the separation or synthesis of constituent elements or compounds.

Etymology of ELECTROLYSE

The word electrolyse is derived from the combination of two Greek words: electro which means electricity and lysis which means to break down or to dissolve. So, the etymology of electrolyse can be traced back to the Greek roots meaning to break down using electricity.
