Question

Draw the diagram showing the electrolysis of water and write importance of graphite​

Answer 1

Answer:

electrodes are made up of graphite which is a good conductor of electricity

Answer 2

Electrolysis is a process of separating oxygen and hydrogen from water by using an electric current

Explanation:

• Electrolysis of water is the process of splitting Oxygen hydrogen from by passing an electric current
• This process is also called as Water splitting
• This process requires 1.23 volts to separate oxygen and hydrogen
• Two electrodes ( cathode and anode) placed inside the water  were connected to DC electric power
• Reduction process takes place in cathode where the hydrogen appear
• Reduction is a process of gaining of electrons
• Oxidation process takes place at anode where the oxygen appears
• Oxidation is a process of removal of electrons or addition of oxygen atom
• The addition of electrolytes such as salt, acid, base increases the efficiency of the electrolysis process
• Also the usage of electrocatalyst increases the efficiency
• This process is rarely used now because of many affordable and easiest forms of experimental methods have been used now  

Importance of graphite

• The crystalline form of carbon is called as Graphite
• Under standard conditions graphite occurs in most stable form of carbon
• Using high temperature and high pressure graphite can be convert into diamond
• It is a good conductor heat and electricity and it is used as electrodes, batteries and solar panels
• Pencil's lead is made from graphite only
• Graphite find its applications  in brake linings, lubricants, steel making, foundry facing, brushes in motors etc.
