Here is your FINAL and PERSONAL answer:PeterAX wrote:To MrTim and Tarsier79.

1) A standard DC water-splitting electrolysis process takes place in your laboratory.
2) A direct current I flows through the electrolyte. This direct current I is equal to 1A, that is, I = 1A. (This is the reading of your standard working DC ammeter.)
3) The Ohmic resistance R of the electrolyte is equal to 1Ohm, that is, R = 1Ohm. (This is the reading of your standard working DC ohmmeter.)

I am asking you PERSONALLY my question for the 4th time: How many Joules of heat per second (J/s) does the electrolyte absorb from the external environment?

All members of this forum are looking forward to your PERSONAL answer for the 4th time.
As listed on one of the sources on page 13, the efficiency of electrolysis is 87%. Therefore your equation is missing an important factor, corrected here:
(I = 1A) x .87 , meaning your efficiency is LESS THAN 1
In the future, when you present your equations, please include the efficiency of the electrolysis (x .87) in your calculations.
Failure to do so will result in your flawed arguments/results being ignored, so please quit wasting our time...
