Question

9. running a strong enough electric current through water will cause it to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen gas. write the balanced chemical equation for this process. what is being oxidized, and what is being reduced?

Answer 1

Explanation: when electric current is passed through water, water dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is deposited over negative pole and oxygen is deposited over positive pole. Deposition of hydrogen and oxygen at different poles is visible in the form of bubbles.
