Driving Question How does Electrolysis work?(list steps) What is it used for? What are the inputs and outputs?
What is electrolysis? Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) due to an electric current being passed through the water. http://www.sparknotes.com/chemistry/electrochemistry/electrolytic/section1.rhtml
How does Electrolysis work? Electrolysis works works by passing an electric current through water. By Doing this it splits the water into its base components, Hydrogen and Oxygen. http://www.andybrain.com/sciencelab/2007/12/16/easy-electrolysis-how-to-make-your-own-hydrogen/
