dilute h2so4 was taken in an electrolytic cell and electric current was passed through it. Explain what will be happen with reason
Answers
Answer:split into hydrogen and oxygen gases
Explanation:During the process of electrolysis of water, dilute sulphuric acid splits into when electricity is passed through the dilute sulfuric acid solution. The electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid (= acidified water) which, during electrolysis is split into hydrogen and oxygen gases
Answer:
When a dilute solution of sulfuric acid is electrolysed, gases are produced at both the anode and the cathode electrode.
Hydrogen gas forms at the cathode, oxygen gas forms at the anode.t
The gas produced at the cathode burns with a 'pop' sound, when a sample is lit with a lighted splint. This shows that the gas is hydrogen.
The gas produced at the anode relights a glowing splint dipped into a sample of the gas. This shows that the gas is oxygen.
The gases are produced when ions move towards the electrodes.
At the cathode:
2H+ +2e- → H2
At the anode:
4OH- - 4e- → 2H2O + O2
