A compound 'X' used for drinking, has pH =7. Its acidified solution
undergoes decomposition in presence of electricity to produce gases '
Y' and 'Z' The volume of Y is double than Z. Y is highly combustible
whereas Z is supporter of combustion. identify X. Y & Z and write the
chemical reactions involved??

Compound X is Water ( H₂O) It's Neutral Hence PH 7 .
On Electrolytic Decomposition It gives off diHydrogen (H₂) and diOxygen (O₂) molecule
Hydrogen released is double the amount of Oxygen.So, Y will be Hydrogen which burns and Z will be Oxygen which is Reduced during combustion.

➾Compound X is Water ( H₂O) It's Neutral Hence PH 7 .
➾Hydrogen released is double the amount of Oxygen.
➾So, Y will be Hydrogen which burns and Z will be Oxygen which is Reduced during combustion.
★Equation :
2 H2O (l) → H2(g)+O2(g)
X → Y + Z
Hope it helped didi :D
