Explain what is mean by electrolysis of of water write electrode reactions and electrode reactions and explain them
Answers
Answer:
Answer:
Electrolysis of water in splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen
Basically it is a decomposition reaction in which a compounds breaks down into two or more simpler substances
(In this case,decomposition reaction takes place in presence of electricity)
Explaination
During reaction hydrogen ions gathered on cathode (negatively charged) and oxygen ions is gathered on anode (positively charged).this is so because oppositely charged particles attract each other
Ovr these two electrons inverted test tubes are placed to collect the respective gases with a connection of cell or battery with it along with on switch mode
OBSERVATION:amount of gas collected in one testtube is more than that of other or we further say double to other
That is hydrogen gas
Reason: water consists of hydrogen nd oxygen in the ratio 2:1 i.e. two atoms of hydron nd one atom of oxygen
This is proved to be our conclusion further
Reaction is pinned here
Hope it will help u
