Electrolysis of Water & Hydrochloric Acid

The discovery that passing an electric current through water would split it apart was made quite soon after the discovery of current electricity itself. This predates Michael Faraday’s work in this area, but it is he who introduced most of the terms that we still use today. Electrolysis was named by Faraday. Though not an exact translation, it means to use electricity to split something apart.
