Study the figure given below and answer the following questions :
(a) Name the process depicted in the diagram.
(b) Write the composition of the anode and the cathode.
(c) Write the balanced chemical equation of the reaction taking place in this case.
(d) The reaction does not take place if a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid are not added to water. Why?
1. The process involves in the reaction is electrolysis.
2. In the given process, Anode and Cathode are made of Carbon.
3. The balanced chemical reaction for the process is
2H2O –> 2H2 + O2
4. The role of H2SO4 is to make water a good conductor of electricity.
