Question

who discovered when electricity is passed through water is split in to hydrogen and Oxygen?​

Answer 1

Answer: William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle

Explanation:

Electrolysis was first performed by William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle in 1800.

Answer 2

When electricity is passed through water is split into hydrogen and Oxygen was discovered by Fujishima and Honda.

• The water splitting was discovered by Fujishima and Honda.
• Fujishima observes that when titanium oxide is irradiated with light, it absorbs the energy that enables the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen.
• When water was passed through electricity, it decomposes to give Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Water splits up into Hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. Positive Hydrogen ions will move towards the negative terminal, that is cathode, and Hydroxide ions will move towards the anode, and this process is known as electrolysis.
