The process of electrolysis involves forcing a current through a cell to produce a chemical change that would not otherwise occur. 

In some electrochemical cells, nonspontaneotts (reactant-favored) chemical reactions are forced to occur by the input of electrical energy. This process is called electrolysis. An electrolytic cell consists of a container for the reaction material with electrodes immersed in the reaction material and connected to a source of direct current. Inert electrodes are often used so that they do not become involved with the reaction.
