what is electro chemistry?
Electrochemistry is the science that unites electricity and chemistry. By using electrochemical principles, chemists and engineers design ways of converting electrical energy into the chemical energy of desirable materials: aluminum, nylon and bleach are everyday commodities that are produced by such an electrochemical synthesis.
Electrochemistry has many uses other than electrosynthesis, energy creation, and corrosion inhibition. Electrochemical analysis is one of the most direct and accurate ways of measuring such things as the purity of drinking water, the acidity of wine, and the concentrations of toxic metals in factory effluents.
