Question:

The electrolysis of a solution resulted in the formation of H₂ (g) at the cathode and O₂ (g) at anode. The solution is?

__________________________________________________________Answer:

Your answer is H₂O

__________________________________________________________Explanation:

As we know that at the anode, oxidation takes place and at the cathode reduction takes place

Water on electrolysis, at the anode, oxygen gets oxidised and then, it is released as O₂ gas. and at the cathode, hydrogen gets reduced and then, H₂ gas is released

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂

The volume of hydrogen colloected at the cathode is twice the volume of oxygen collected at the anode
