Question

platinum is used in acidified water instead of graphite why​

Answer 1

Answer:

The platinum or carbon electrodes are inert. You need inert (non–reactive) electrodes like platinum (left) and much cheaper carbon (graphite electrodes, right). In the simple electrolysis cell, the graphite (carbon) electrodes are, through a large rubber bung, 'upwardly' dipped into an solution of acidified water.
