Question

what is the electro-decomposition reaction give an example​

Answer 1

Electrolytic decomposition may result when electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a compound. A good example is the electrolysis of water. Electrolysis of water: Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen due to the passage of electric current through it.

Answer 2

Dear students ☺️ here is your answer

: $\implies$ The Electrolytic decomposition basically means decomposition of a chemical compound by electricity. It is also known as electrolysis.

: $\implies$ Electrolysis is the process of separating a compound into its constituent elements by passing electricity through it when in molten or aqueous state. The word electrolysis means splitting or breaking chemical substances with the help of electric current.

: $\implies$For example, when electricity is passed through water containing a few drops of sulphuric acid, it breaks down to give its constituent elements as products i.e. hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). Following is the chemical equation for electrolysis of water

❍ Examples of Electrolytic decomposition

1. 2H2O ------> 2H2 + O2

2. 2NaCl -------> 2Na + Cl2

Hope this answers your question,

Cheers!
