Assertion (A): Electrolysis of water results in liberation of hydrogen

1.	Assertion (A): Electrolysis of water results in liberation of hydrogen at anode and oxygen at cathode. Reason (R ): When burning splinter is introduced in test tube at cathode, it is put off with a pop sound.
Answer» Both (A) and (R ) are true and (R ) is the correct reason for (A). Both (A) and (R ) are true but (R ) is not the correct reason for (A) (A) is true but (R ) is FALSE (A) is false but (R ) is true. Solution :In the electrolysis of water, HYDROGEN is liberated at cathode and OXYGEN is liberated at anode. When burning splinter is INTRODUCED into the test tube with hydrogen, it is put off with a pop sound.
