To show that water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen when an electric current passes through it.
Pass a current through water and collect hydrogen and oxygen, two to one, then test them with a pop and a glowing splint.
What you'll explore
- Electrodes Hydrogen at the cathode, oxygen at the anode.
- Gas tests The pop test and the glowing splint.
Who it's for
Class 10 chemistry, for CBSE, ICSE and State boards. It follows the practical in your textbook: splitting water with electricity.
