Question
When electric current is passed through acidulated water ______ of water takes place.
Options
Oxidation
Displacement
Electrolysis
Reduction
zinc
copper
Double displacement
Decomposition
Solution
When electric current is passed through acidulated Decomposition of water takes place.
Explanation:
Electrolysis take place, divide water in the ratio 2 :1 hydrogen and oxygen and the reaction is a decomposition reaction. It is decomposition reaction because when electricity is passed through the water a single compound split into two elements hydrogen and oxygen so it is called decomposition reaction.
