The electrolysis of acidified water is an example of:

A

reduction

B

oxidation

C

redox reaction

D

catalytic reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Addition of acid to the water makes its electrolyte. In the presence of `H^(+)` ions and `SO_4^(2-)` ions water becomes capable of dissociation. Thus it can be called as a catalytic reaction.
