Dalton's law of simple multiple proportions - The WikiPremed MCAT Course

Let us make a note of historical interest relating Atomic Theory to Electrochemistry. Electrolysis was an instrumental process in early discoveries in atomic theory.

Through early experiments with electrolytic cells, researchers observed that chemical changes could be produced by passing an electric current through certain substances. These types of experiments, in which an electrical current drives an oxidation-reduction reaction, provided essential clues that electrical charge and chemical change were intertwined within substances.

The WikiPremed MCAT Course is a free comprehensive course in the undergraduate level general sciences. Undergraduate level physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and biology are presented by this course as a unified whole within a spiraling curriculum.
