Note on Spelling

The word "electro-chemitry" appears to be a misspelling or variant of the standard term electrochemistry. The hyphenated form "electro-chemitry" is nonstandard; the correct spelling is "electrochemistry" (without a hyphen and with "chem" instead of "chemit"). In academic contexts, always use "electrochemistry."
