Answer»

1. Acid is added to water before electrolysis to make it good conductor of electricity.

2. The constituents of water are hydrogen and oxygen. The molecular formula is H2O.

3. When water is cooled it contracts and its density, increases until the temperature reaches 4°C, on further cooling water starts expanding with the decrease in its density. This is anomalous phenomenon. The aquatic organisms can live there easily.

4. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are dissolved in water.
