please answer the questions
Answers
Ans1)-The given diagram is showing "Electrolysis of water"
Ans2)-occasionally "Chlorine gas is produced in anode"
Ans3)-No. Pure water does not conduct electricity. This is because pure water do not contain any salts. Pure water can conduct electricity when common salt is added to it, as salt solution is conducting in nature.
Ans4)- Sulfuric acid was added to increase the concentration of hydrogen ions and the total number of ions in solution, but does not take part in the reaction.
Ans5)-In pure water at the negatively charged cathode, a reduction reaction takes place, with electrons (e−) from the cathode being given to hydrogen cations to form hydrogen gas.
The half reaction, balanced with acid, is: Reduction at cathode: 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g) ... Oxidation at anode: 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4e.
