Question

What is electrolytic decomposition ​

Answer 1

Answer:

ELECTROLYTIC DECOMPOSITION means breaking of compounds in ions when electricity is passed in a solution.

Water cannot be dissociated easily by supplying but when electricity it can dissociated into its elements.

2H2O→ 2H2 + O2

2NaCl → 2Na (at Cathode)+ Cl2 (at anode)

2AlCl3 → 2Al (at Cathode) + 3 Cl2 (at anode)

please mark me as brainlist.

Answer 2

Definition : Electrolytic Decompostion Reactions are the decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of electricity.

eg: Electrolysis of water

2H2O = 2H2 + O2
