Question

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



plz let me know the answer fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrolysis of water: It is defined as the process of decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gas by the passage of electricity through its aqueous solution (water). i. At the cathode (negative electrode), reduction takes place and evolves hydrogen gas: Reduction reaction: 2H+ + 2e-→ H2.

Answer 2
