Examples of Electrolysis [1-4] 1. Water (H 2 O) Water can undergo electrolysis in the presence of an electrolyte like acid or base. The presence of acid improves the electrical conductivity by increasing the hydrogen ion (H +) concentration. Examples of such electrolytes are sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and salt of sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 ).

Solution: 2 Au + 4KCN + O + H2O = 2KAuCN2 + 2KOH. Precipitation by means of zinc: 2KAuCN2 + Zn = 2Au + K2ZnCN4. The gold is separated from the solution by either running it over zinc shavings or by means of electrolysis. In either case the gold is deposited as a black mud and is periodically collected and refined.
