5 1 Products of Electrolysis Rationalised 2023-24 53 Electrochemistry electrodes The products of electrolysis depend on the different oxidising and reducing species present in the electrolytic cell and their standard electrode potentials Moreover, some of the electrochemical processes although feasible, are so slow kinetically that at lower voltages these do not seem to take place and extra potential (called overpotential) has to be applied, which makes such process more difficult to occur
