  • This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the electrolysis of water which splits H2O into H2 (hydrogen has) and O2 (oxygen gas). Oxygen gas is produced at the anode and hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode. Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. Oxidation always occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.

    Thanks JG. This video is a great explanation to understand Electrolysis.
    Btw, the standard electrode potential for 4OH- >> O2 +2H2O +4e- is the positive 0.4V.
    The electromotive force (E0) for electrolysis is -1.23 V which is calculated by (-0.83) - (+0.4). E(Red) - E(Ox).
    Looks you add (-0.83)V and (-0.4)V to get -1.23V but I think (+0.4)V is correct.

    • @manitverma4425
      @manitverma4425 ปีที่แล้ว

      nope, +0.4 V is not correct. I think he reversed that equation with +0.4 V to get - 0.4 V.

    12:44 I disagree. The reaction does not occur unless the activation energy is provided. The bonds of the Hydrogen molecule, H2, and Oxygen molecule O2 must first be broken before they are free to combine. The molecules will not slowly accumulate energy until there is enough to break the bonds.

    I can't understand the role of the electrolyte. I mean it is the water that splits into the components. Why the movement of the electrolyte "helps" electrolysis? I mean what if we haven't any electrolyte? At the cathode water molecules could still take electrons and at the anode water molecules could still give electrons.
