ELECTROCHEMISTRY

The abstract concepts of electrochemistry are made clear by cinematic techniques. The electrolytic decomposition of silver chloride is followed by the production of electric current from the action of chlorine and hydrogen on platinum; and explanation of the storage battery integrates both processes. Electroplating illustrates participation of electrodes; electro-refining illustrates preferential discharge; and electrolysis of sodium chloride to yield caustic soda illustrates participation of the solvent. The production of aluminum from a molten electrolyte concludes the subject.
