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.

Reaction:

</p><p></p><p>2H_{2}O \to 2H_{2} +O_{2}2H2O→2H2+O2

➾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
