What is the balanced ion electron equation for electrolisis of water

Answer»

Answer:

In pure water at the negatively CHARGED cathode, a reduction reaction takes PLACE, with electrons (e−) from the cathode being given to hydrogen cations to form hydrogen GAS. The half reaction, balanced with ACID, is: Reduction at cathode: 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g)
