One molecule of water releases protons during photolysis. $12H_{2}O$ will release

• A. $24H^{+}$
• B. $48H^{+}$
• C. $12H^{+}$
• D. $6H^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $24H^{+}$

Lysis of water releases protons and electrons. One molecule of water releases 2 protons and 2 electrons. Therefore, 12 water molecules releases 24 protons. Thus, option A is correct and other options are incorrect.
