Question

what is electrolysis describe in brief the electrolysis of water

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.It ideally requires a potential difference of 1.23 volts to split water. This technique can be used to make hydrogen gas and breathable oxygen

Answer 2

Answer:

electrolysis is a technique that uses a direct electric current (DC) to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is commercially important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell.

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.It ideally requires a potential difference of 1.23 volts to split water.

This technique can be used to make hydrogen gas and breathable oxygen. However, as hydrogen is an important industrial commodity, by far most industrial methods produce hydrogen from natural gas instead, in the steam reforming process.
