    Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a beautiful Introduction into Electrolysis of Water in AP/General Chemistry. The electrolysis of water results from a transfer of electrons and the release of hydrogen and oxygen as gases. This is an error free video/lecture on TH-cam TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

    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 2 ปีที่แล้ว

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

    • @HIZUKIthegoat
      @HIZUKIthegoat 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@isaacmolina5500well it's just the properties of the stoichiometry, you can see that in the product side of the reaction (right side) there are 2 molecules of H2O and 2 atoms of oxygen. Which means that in total there would be 4 atoms of hydrogen and 4 atoms of oxygen. Therefore, to balance the equation it needs to be the same amount on both sides.
      Since on the reactant side there is only a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom we put the stoichiometric coefficient in front of it, making it 4OH

  • @wayneyadams
    @wayneyadams 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
