La electrólisis

The video tutorial explains the process of electrolysis, starting with David's early experiments using the first electric battery. It details his work with potassium hydroxide, leading to the discovery of pure potassium. The mechanism of electrolysis is described, focusing on the role of ions and electrodes. Finally, the video highlights the industrial applications of electrolysis, particularly in extracting reactive metals like aluminum.
