Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen is
A
electrolysis
B
composition
C
state of matter
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrolysis is a promising option for carbon-free hydrogen production from renewable and nuclear resources. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction takes place in a unit called an electrolyzer.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 Answer. The electrolysis of water is an example of a non spontaneous redox reaction that occurs in the presence of electricity (energy).

Detailed explanation-3: -Electrolysis of water is a decomposition reaction in which water molecule decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electrolysis is the process of using an electrical current to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. The electrical charge that is applied to water will break the chemical bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms and produce charged particles called ions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water undergoes decomposition during electrolysis and forms hydrogen and oxygen gas in the ratio 2:1 by volume. The reaction occurs as follows: 2H2O→2H2+O2.
