During electrolysis of aciduated water ratio of product formed at cathode and anode is?
Answers
Explanation:
During the electrolysis of acidulated water the gas that is formed at anode is .In the electrolysis of acidulated water, oxygen gas is evolved at the anode.
Answer:
Hydrogen, Oxygen
Explanation:
Acidulated water is water where some sort of acid is added.
Ionization of acidified water:
H

Ions present in solution are SO

+ve charge move towards cathode whereas -ve charge move towards anode.
Reaction at cathode:

Reaction at anode
OH

Hence, during electrolysis of acidulated water, hydrogen is collected at cathode and oxygen is collected at anode.
