Describe the reactions during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell. Group of answer choices Oxygen and hydrogen are both oxidized. Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced. Oxygen is reduced and hydrogen is oxidized. Oxygen and hydrogen are both reduced. Neither oxygen or hydrogen are oxidized or reduced.

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

s too much pool water may lead to chlorine poisoning. the concentration of chlorine in public drinking water is extremely low and not harmful to human health. sooo yeahh

explanation:

- both b and d.

-since b and d are the closest coastlines then that makes it the most affected.
