Salting and voltaic pile: what they have in common
- Step 1. Salting — uses — Chemical reaction. Salt draws out water, suppressing microbes.
- Step 2. Chemical reaction — includes — Electrolysis. Electrolysis is a chemical reaction driven by an electric current.
- Step 3. Electrolysis — evolved from — Voltaic pile. The first electrolysis of water was powered by a voltaic pile.
