Define electrolysis and cell constant.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis refers to a process in which a chemical change is brought about by passing an electric current through a solution of electrolytes so that the electrolyte's ions move toward the negative and positive electrodes and react with them. If negative ions move toward the anode, they lose electrons and become neutral, the reaction that takes place is an oxidation reaction. If positive ions move toward the cathode and gain electrons, becoming neutral, the reaction that takes place is a reduction reaction.

Cell constant

Cell constant is defined as the ratio of distance between conductance-titration electrodes to the area of the electrodes, measured from the determined resistance of a solution of known specific conductance.

 electrolysis; it is the process of generating electrical energy out of spontaneous redox reactions using electrochemical cells.

cell constant: it isthe ratio between the length (distance between the platinum electrodes of the conductivity cell) to that of the area of cross section of the platinum electrodes. it is denoted by G*
