1 Each square on the map is 2 cm by 2 cm (4 cm 2) and represents 1 km 2 on the surface of the earth. 2  For 1:25,000 maps, the grid lines are 4 cm apart. 3  Each square on the map is 4 cm by 4 cm (16 cm 2) and represents 1 km 2 on the surface of the earth.
+ 2 e â + 2 H + â. In the last example, H + ions (hydrogen ions) also take part in the reaction, and are provided by an acid in the solution, or by the solvent itself (water, methanol etc.). Electrolysis reactions involving H + ions are fairly common in acidic solutions.
electrolysis The decomposition of a solution by the passage of an electric current to separate charged particles (ions). Water can be separated into the gases hydrogen and oxygen by this means. The term is used for electrical destruction of unwanted hair follicles, but the main destructive effect is one of heating. electrolysis
