Electrolytes
Electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity. Most
need to be dissolved into water or another solvent.
Battery’s have an electrolyte in them, either as a liquid or
as a paste. Liquid electrolytes are used in electrolysis,
electroplating, and other chemical processes.
When electrolytes dissolve they release positive and
negative ions. The released ions carry electric charges
between electrodes, in the solution. Cations (a positively
charged ion that migrates to the cathode, a negative
electrode) …showed first 75 words of 622 total…

…showed last 75 words of 622 total…electrical current flow. If
the bonds within the molecule are easier to break by the
water molecules then the degree of ionization will be
greater. More current will be conducted. These are strong
electrolytes.
Electrolytes are needed for the regulation of body
fluids, and the transmission of electrical impulses. They
are lost through perspiration, and have to be replaced.
There is no daily recommendation because they’re so abundant
it’s easy to get enough.
