hey guys, I'm new here but i wud like to know how to electrolyse about 30 litres of water in about 15 minutes,please do tell the answer or give any reply that wud help.
Electrolysis of water is a chemical process in which an electric current is passed through water to separate it into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
In electrolysis of water, an electric current is used to break down the water molecules into positively charged hydrogen ions and negatively charged oxygen ions. These ions are then attracted to opposite electrodes and are released as hydrogen and oxygen gas.
Electrolysis of water is primarily used to produce hydrogen gas, which can be used as a clean and renewable energy source. It can also be used for industrial processes, such as in the production of chlorine and other chemicals.
To perform electrolysis of water, you will need a power source (such as a battery or a power supply), two electrodes (typically made of platinum or graphite), and a container of water with an electrolyte solution (such as salt or sulfuric acid) added to improve conductivity.
Yes, electrolysis of water can be considered a sustainable process as it uses clean energy sources such as solar or wind power to produce hydrogen gas, which can be used as a clean fuel. Additionally, the byproduct of this process is oxygen, which can contribute to improving air quality.
