Question

the electrolytic decomposition of water gives h​

Answer 1

The electrolytic decomposition of water gives Hydrogen and Oxygen .

${2H_2O --\:2H_2 + O_2}$

Here hydrogen gas is given at The cathode whereas oxygen gas at the anode.

The hydrogen gas is produced double than that of oxygen gas.

This reaction is known as electrolytic decomposition reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrolytic decomposition of water gives Hydrogen and Oxygen as gases.

Explanation:

Electrolytic decomposition is also called as Electrolysis. The electrolysis of water results in the release of oxygen and hydrogen gases.

Electrolysis of water occurs by the passage of electric current. the standard potential of 1.23v is required for the lysis of water to oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen produced in this process is breathable oxygen.

2H2O→H2+2O2
