<h3>Answer:</h3>

Electrolysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Electrolysis refers to the process of decomposing an electrolyte by passing an electric current through it.
  • Electrolytes are ionic compounds either in molten or aqueous form that may be decomposed by passing an electric current through them.
  • Water is an example of an electrolyte that can be decomposed using electrolysis.
  • During electrolysis cations undergo reduction at the cathode while anions undergo oxidation at the anode.

In this case;

At the Cathode;

4H⁺(aq) + 4e → 2H₂(g)

At the Anode;

4OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + O₂(g) + 4e
