    Electrolysis is the process of using electric current to cause a chemical reaction. When salts are dissolved in water to form aqueous solutions, the salts dissociate into cations and anions. Hydrogen and hydroxide ions are also present as water partially dissociates into H+ and OH-. During electrolysis, the cations and anions are separated at the electrodes based on their charge.
