electrolysis of water

The electrolysis of water involves the decomposition of water (H₂O) into hydrogen gas (H₂) and oxygen gas (O₂) using electrical energy. This is a non-spontaneous reaction, requiring an electrolytic cell. Reaction: 2H2O(l)→electrolysis→2H2(g)+O2(g) Process: Electrolytic Cell Setup: The cell consists of two electrodes—an anode (positive electrode) and a cathode (negative electrode)—placed in water with an electrolyte … Read more
