Answer:

yqaeh

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrolysis of acidified water

Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it does contain some hydrogen ions , H +, and hydroxide ions, OH -. These ions are formed when a small proportion of water molecules naturally dissociate . ... H + ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.
