1. In electrolysis of water, why is the volume of gas collected over one electrode double that of eascollected over the other electrode?

Answer»

We usually perform Electrolysis to split constituents of water . Water composition is 2atoms of H and 1atom of O . Therefore H is double than O . 4H + O2 = 2H2O The two electrodes collect H and O separately . We know that hydrogen composition in water is double than oxygen , so we find volume of gas collected in one electrode is double than volume of gas collected in another electrode .
