If the process of electrolysis is contained underwater would it work like it is supposed to?
Electrolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs when an electric current is passed through a substance, causing it to break down into its component parts.
Yes, electrolysis can be performed underwater as long as the equipment used is properly insulated and the electrodes are made of non-corrosive materials.
Containing electrolysis underwater has various applications, including underwater welding, corrosion prevention, and wastewater treatment.
Safety precautions for containing electrolysis underwater include using proper insulation and protective gear, ensuring proper ventilation, and closely monitoring the electric current being used.
The potential risks of containing electrolysis underwater include electric shock, explosion, and corrosion of equipment. Proper safety measures should be taken to minimize these risks.
