The process in which electric current is used to carry out a non-spontaneous redox reaction is called:
Correct answer: B. Electrolysis
- A. Electrolyte
- B. Electrolysis
- C. Metallic conductor
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Electrolysis is a process by which an electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change. A chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or reduction).

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
