Question

when electric current is passed through acidulated water decomposition of water takes place explain it ​

Answer 1

Answer:-

When an electric current is passed through acidulated water the water get decomposed in to its components hydrogen and oxygen in 1 : 8 by mass.

Explanation :-

Water is a neutral compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen combining together in 1 : 8 by mass or volume.

When electric current is passed through it.It get hydrolysed in to its components and hydrogen gas is obtained at cathode and oxygen gas obtained at anode.

The reaction is also know as electrolysis decomposition :-

2H2O → 2H↑ + 2O2↑

Observation:-

We can see the small bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen coming out of water.

Test for hydrogen:-

If you want to test hydrogen gas obtained during electrolysis cover cathode with a U - shaped beaker and when all gas is stored in to it light a Matchstick it will burn with Pop Sound.
