Answer:
In the electrolysis of dilute sulfuric acid, which electrolysis in aqueous solution to form hydrogen ions, H⁺, and sulfur IV ions SO₄²⁻ in the presence of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the water molecules
At the anode
The anode, positive electrode, attracts the negative OH⁻ and SO₄²⁻ ions where the OH⁻ gives up electrons to form water molecules and oxygen as follows;
4OH⁻ → 2H₂O + O₂ + 4e⁻
At the cathode
The positive H⁺ ions from the water molecules and the acid are attracted to the cathode where they combine with 2 electrons to form hydrogen gas as follows;
2e⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂ (gas)
