Question

Pure water can be used as an electrolyte in the process of electrolysis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. During the process of electrolysis, solution which is used must be a conductor of electricity or in other words, must contain free electrons or free charge.
2. Pure water does not contain any free charge to pass the electricity and hence it can not be used in the process of electrolysis.
3. If some salts are added to the water then it can become a conductor of electricity.

Hence the given statement is false.
