Acidified water is electrolysed by using carbon electrodes. What is produced at :
(a) positive carbon electrode ?
(b) negative carbon electrode ?

Question

Acidified water is electrolysed by using carbon electrodes- What is produced negative carbon electrode-

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

During electrolysis of acidified water- H- ions are reduced to H2 gas at the negative carbon electrode -cathode- and hence hydrogen gas is liberated at cathode-

Acidified water is electrolysed by using carbon electrodes. What is produced at negative carbon electrode?

During electrolysis of acidified water, $H^{+}$ ions are reduced to $H_{2}$ gas at the negative carbon electrode (cathode) and hence hydrogen gas is liberated at cathode.
