What is Electrolysis? Explain the electrolysis of water.
 
Water can be broken up into  by passing a/an through it. This process is known as the electrolysis of water.
 
Experiment set up:
 
In this experiment, a glass beaker containing two carbon electrodes is filled to one-third of its volume with water. The acts as an anode, while the  acts as a cathode. Two test tubes are kept on the electrodes.
 
The electrodes are linked to a battery, and current is passed through them until the test tubes are completely filled with the desired gas. When the extinguished splint is brought near the mouth of the test tube, the gas in the cathode side burns with a popping sound. This property is commonly shown by ; therefore, the gas inside the test tube is proved to be . The flaming splint at the anode side burns brighter, indicating that the gas is .
