What reaction is caused when electricity passes through water?
Correct answer: Electrolysis
Timbo
chemistry teacher here...decomposition is also correct.
Player #29398937
Timbo, but decomposition can occur without electricity, just heat is enough. Whereas electrolysis requires electricity to start the reaction, hence electrolysis is the more appropriate answer (esp since multiple choice questions require the most suitable answer, even if other answers are correct but less relevant)

Easy question for a science student.. #sciencerocks

those were fun experiments back in the day and i hope schools teach this way . my science teacher went so far as to teach us how to build a still. come to think of it he was an alcoholic but made science interesting.

On the other hand, I love this game! Especially the part wherein the answer comes with a source of info. which the person can read further! 😁

Sheldon Cooper told me the answer. Thanks you big bang.

Timbo, how?

Kathy, Pure, distilled water is a insulator ( non-conductor) but just the salt from your hand will allow it to conduct!

I'm no authority on this subject, and in fact guessed the wrong answer. However it seems to me from all the comments and the explanation that 'Decomposition' sho have been the correct answer. Am I right in thinking that Electrolysis, in itself, isn't a reaction, but simply a technique used to provide enough energy to the reaction process - that reaction being Decomposition?

I thought electricity and water don't mix

Glänzendmir2825✨, innit

I suggest you use other references aside from Wikipedia because it's not always credible since it can be done by anyone. 😊

ideally it's also a part of decomposition

this is the basis on how electroplating works

Timbo, decompose doesn't always require electricity

I love chemistry, I'm computer science student

Player #29398937, you are wrong

Glänzendmir2825✨, im not a science student i know it bc it has a word electic
ken,building lover
i found the answer by seeing that 'elec'word
Player #31296712
How did i get that right i don't do chemistry yet

I really don't have any idea for this question. But the logic was that the Question was containing the word 'electricity' and the answer was also related to electricity 😆

Timbo,
no decomposition is not correct.
Player #28487949
I m just studying this topic while playing this game....LOL 😂
Aneenaa
Timbo, yeahh I clicked that ..i am studying this now and I didn't even look or see electrolysis🤦🏻♀️
Antara06
Timbo, yes. electrolysis is a part of decomposition reaction i guess
