Question

Explain what is meant by electrolysis of water.write the electrode reactions and explain them.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrolysis of water is the decompositon into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to an electric current passed through the water. ... On positively charged anode, an oxidation reaction occurs, generating oxygen gas by giving electrons to the anode : Oxidation at anode: 2 H2O → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4e.

Answer 2

Answer:

electrolysis of water means breaking of water into H2 and O2

At Cathode:h+ion  +  electron ---> H  as single H is not stable

                   H  + H ------> H2

At Anode: O2-  + 2-  ----> O
