Question

• In the electrolysis of water, anode a. Has positive charge. b. Has negative charge. c. Is connected to negative terminal of battery d. None of these is correct.​

Answer 1

anode always has positive charge during electrolysis

Answer 2

Answer:

At the positively charged anode, an oxidation reaction occurs, generating oxygen gas and giving electrons to the anode to complete the circuit: Oxidation at anode: 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4e.

Cathode (reduction): 2 H2O(l) + 2e−
