In an ideal case of an electrochemical convertor, such as a fuel cell, the change in

Gibb’s free energy, of the reaction is available as useful electric energy at that
temperature of the conversion.

During passing of electric current through this solution using platinum electrode,
and ions move towards cathode. However, only ions are discharged more
readily than ion because of their low discharge potential (In the electromotive
series hydrogen is lower than sodium). These ions gain electrons and change into
neutral atoms. At cathode
