Discharge of ion at cathode - -xA0-xA0-H- - e-x2212- -x2192- -xA0-H2H - 2H -x2192- -xA0-2H2Overall at cathode - -xA0- -xA0-xA0-4H- - 4e-x2212- -x2192- -xA0-2H2

Give the equation for the discharge of ion at the cathode during the electrolysis of acidified water ?

Discharge of ion at cathode :
$H^{+}$ $+$ $e^{-}$ $\to$ $H$
$2 H$ $+$ $2 H$ $\to$ $2 H_{2}$
Overall at cathode : $4 H^{+}$ $+$ $4 e^{-}$ $\to$ $2 H_{2}$

Give the equation for the discharge of ion at the cathode during the electrolysis of acidified water ?

Discharge of ion at cathode : H+ + e− → H2H + 2H → 2H2Overall at cathode : 4H+ + 4e− → 2H2

Discharge of ion at cathode :
$H^{+}$ $+$ $e^{-}$ $\to$ $H$
$2 H$ $+$ $2 H$ $\to$ $2 H_{2}$
Overall at cathode : $4 H^{+}$ $+$ $4 e^{-}$ $\to$ $2 H_{2}$
