Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates the electrolysis of water using acidified water and two electrodes connected to a battery. When electric current passes through the water, hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode in a 2:1 ratio. A burning matchstick test confirms the presence of hydrogen gas.
