Under what condit

Electrolysis happens when a redox reaction occurs. Like all reactions, redox reaction to moves towards equilibrium. At equilibrium condition, the cell has discharged completely, and cell potential drops to zero.

_∆rG= -nF E _cell =0

_{Where ∆r}G^° is the standard Gibbs energy of the reaction

_{n is the number of electrons transferred}

_{F is Faraday’s constant and}

_E^°_cell is the standard electrode potential of a cell
