Water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen gases using electricity. A Hoffman electrolysis apparatus collects the two gases separately and shows the 2 to 1 ratio nicely. If a pH indicator is used the anode becomes yellow and cathode becomes blue. Hydrogen gas can be burned to produce a small pop sound and the oxygen can be used to re-ignite a glowing wooden splint.
