Question

Give reason- “The electrolysis of acidulated water is considered to be an example of catalysis.

Open in App

Solution

Water is a polar covalent compound and can form ions when dilute acid (Sulphuric acid) is added to it.

Acid catalyses this ionization and hence it is considered as an example of catalysis.
