Question

Proline derivatives and other amines can be alpha-functionalized via this process in the Shono oxidation. (10[1])This process causes the decarboxylation of acids to radicals that dimerize in a technique named for Hermann Kolbe. The debunked Fleischmann–Pons cold fusion (10[1])experiment involved performing this process (10[2])on the surface (10[1])of palladium. (10[3]-5[1])The outputs (10[1]-5[3])of this process (-5[1])can be analyzed (10[1])via coulometry. (10[1])The mass deposited is proportional (10[1])to charge (10[1]-5[1])in the first of Michael Faraday’s two laws for this (10[1])process. (10[4]-5[4])In the (10[1])Hall–Héroult (10[1]-5[1])(“ay-ROO”) process, (10[1])alumina is dissolved in cryolite (-5[1])before this process (10[2]-5[1])is initiated. (10[2]-5[1])This process performed on water forms hydrogen (10[5])gas (10[2]-5[1])usable (10[1])as fuel at the cathode. (10[1]-5[2])For 10 points, (10[2])name this process in which non-spontaneous (10[1])chemical reactions are driven via an electrical current. (10[1]) (10[10]0[1])■END■

ANSWER: electrolysis [accept Kolbe electrolysis; accept Faraday’s laws of electrolysis; prompt on electrochemical reactions or electrosynthesis]
