Question

the rods used as electrodes during the electrolysis of acidified water is made of​

Answer 1

Answer:

You need inert (non–reactive) electrodes like platinum (left) and much cheaper carbon (graphite electrodes, right). In the simple electrolysis cell, the graphite (carbon) electrodes are, through a large rubber bung, 'upwardly' dipped into an solution of acidified water. ... The electrodes must be made of an inert wire.

Answer 2

In the electrolysis of water, we used acidified water and metals are very reactive towards acid. We need a non-reactive or inert electrode. Platinum is a noble metal hence we used platinum as an electrode in this electrolysis.
