Hi
Give an example for electrolytic decomposition?
Electrolytic Decomposition:
Reactions in which compounds decompose into simpler compounds because of passage of electricity, are known as ELECTROLYTIC DECOMPOSITION. This is also known as ELECTROLYSIS. Example: When electric current is passed through water, it decomposes to give oxygen and hydrogen. 2H20 (Passing electricity) ------> 2H2 +O2
