Electrolysis of Water
(A teacher demonstration experiment)
Lab # 1
Background
Electrolysis of water is the process by which water is decomposed into oxygen
and hydrogen gas, when electric current is passed through it. Water molecule is
decomposed in to H+ and OH- ions, when electric current is passed through it.
These ions move to oppositely charged electrodes and liberated as gases at
different electrodes.
Objectives
To observe the electrolysis of water and determine the gases liberated at the
end of experiment. Write balanced equation for this experiment.
Equipment (Teacher Demonstration)
1 electrolysis apparatus
1 rubber stopper, one holed
1 glass tube, 25 cm length, bent at 90o
angle in center
1 large test tube
