Decomposition of Water (Electrolysis)

概述

Water decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen gases when an electric current is passed through it. This electrolysis reaction is the reverse of the synthesis of water. It requires a minimum voltage of 1.23 V at standard conditions, though practical electrolyzers use higher voltages.
