Answer:

gas at anode  -  O2

gas at cathode - h2

Explanation:

the volume of gas at the cathode is double that of the gas at the anode because 2 molecules of water give 2 molecules of hydrogen gas and 1 molecule of oxygen gas.

Answer:

In electrolysis of water :

a ) . Hydrogen gas collected at cathode. And oxygen gas gas collect at anode.

b ) . We know that in water there is 2 hydrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom. That's why volume of gas collected at one electrode double than the other.

c ) . Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity when we add drops of dil sulphuric acid we make it a good conductor of electricity.
