Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2009
The acid used in electrolysis of water is dilute
A
HNO3
B
CH3COOH
C
H2SO4
D
HCl
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The acid used in the electrolysis of water is dilute H2SO4 (sulfuric acid). Adding an electrolyte (like an acid or a base) increases the conductivity of the water. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, and therefore it dissociates well in water, providing ions that allow the current to flow.
