Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

True

  • Electrolysis is described by two half-reactions.  
  • Electrolysis results in commercially valuable products.  
  • Electrolysis involves the transfer of electrons.  

False

  • Electrolysis requires an acid to be present. For example, you can electrolyze molten NaCl.
  • Electrolysis is not an industrial process. For example, many metals are purified by electrolysis.
  • Reduction results in the loss of electrons. The Gain of Electrons is Reduction.
  • Oxidation results in the loss of electrons. The Loss of Electrons is Oxidation.

The statements which are true about electrolysis are;

  • Electrolysis is described by two half-reactions.
  • Electrolysis results in commercially valuable products.
  • Electrolysis involves the transfer of electrons.

The true facts about electrolysis are as explained;

  • Electrolysis is described by two half-reactions. These half reaction are the oxidation half-reaction and reduction half-reaction

  • Electrolysis results in commercially valuable products. This is evident in electroplating when valuable metals are use to plate one's of less value.

  • Electrolysis involves the transfer of electrons. Each half reaction is characterized by the loss or gain of electrons.

  • Oxidation results in the loss of electrons.

The false statements are;

  • Electrolysis requires an acid to be present. This is false because the presence of an acid is not mandatory during electrolysis.

  • Electrolysis is not an industrial process. The statement above is false because industrial purification of many metals require electrolysis.

  • Reduction results in the loss of electrons. Contrarily, reduction is characterized by a gain of electrons.
