Electrolysis of water<span> is the </span><span>decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced. Water is separeted into two molecules:
</span>Reaction of reduction at cathode: 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻<span> → H</span>₂(g<span>).
</span><span><span>Reaction of oxidation at anode: 2H</span></span>₂<span><span>O(l) → O</span></span>₂<span><span>(g) + 4H</span></span>⁺(<span><span>aq) + 4e</span></span>⁻.<span><span>
</span></span>
Answer:
the rate increases
Explanation:
they are closer to each other, they will collide with each other more frequently and more successful collision
Delta enthalpy = 2x386-3x1x432-3x942=-3350kJ/mol
