Whats the difference between electrolysis and cells?

And. When you burn  for example. ETHANOL ..AND BUTANOL till the temperature of a beaker filled with water reaches 50 * C. You burn less mass of butanol to obtain same temperature rise!. Why is that?

more bonds are there , and more energy is given out

electrolysis is a process involving decomposition of an iconic compound using electrical energy .. if u use 'inert' electrodes like carbon .. if u change the electrodes to say copper, it tends to take part in the 'reaction' (electrolysis) .. you can purify copper with using copper electrodes .. u tht process too ??

making cells or batteries is slightly different .. in alkaline batteries (zinc carbon batteries) the positive electrode is manganese oxide and the negative electrode is zinc .. note tht these metals act as electrodes and an electrolyte used may be an alkali (sodium hydroxide)    

Butanol has a larger chain compared to ethanol .. due to this fact more energy is released in the process of 'burning' of butanol ..

I get the alcohol question..but hmm

to make things clearer about electrolysis..pretend you get assked in an exam..What is the difference bettween electrolysis and cell?

i know 1 . Electrolysis converts electrical to chemical  and cells form chemical to electrical ?? <--? right??

what else?

Cells produce electrical energy while electrolysis uses electricity to decompose compounds.

Also in electrolysis its Metal in cathode and non metal at anode while in cell its the more reactive in cathode and less reactive on anode...

5)c) It says that u have to add nitric acid on the salt... Wait a minute... can an acid react with a salt 0.o and if yes, under what conditions, bla bla

Thanks :D

i think its a test for carbon dioxide .. check in the ms .. its fo 3 mks so effervescence seen and lime water turns milky .. dunno wats fo 3rd point ..

So an acid CAN react with a salt.... but bases cant right?
