Detailed Solution

  • At both the anode and the cathode during the electrolysis of a diluted sulfuric acid solution, gases are created.
  • When a sample is ignited with a lit splint, the gas generated at the cathode burns with a "pop." This demonstrates that hydrogen is the gas.
  • A blazing splint dipped into a sample of the gas ignites again when the gas created at the anode is applied. It is clear from this that the gas is oxygen.
  • At cathode,
  • 2H++2e→H2​
  • At anode,
  • 4OH→2H2​O+O2​+4e
