So, im curious - we add lots of electrolye to the dist. water. What ends up happening to all the NaOH, does it just build up on the dry cell plates and needed to be cleaned regularly (alot of work..) or is it somehow part of the reaction. I know a little chem, so if anyone can explain- much appr!
or... is the electrolyte not part of the reaction and i only need to add NaOH one time ever and just dist water to keep it topped off?
