Question

What are the products of auto-photolysis of water? (A) H2 and O2 (B) Steam (C) H3 O+ and OH- (D) Hydrogen peroxide

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Auto photolysis of water involves breakage of chemical bonds as the result of transfer of light energy to these bonds of water. It involves release of oxygen as a byproduct and also releases hydrogen

2 H_{2} O \to 4 H^{+} + 4 e^{-} + O_{2}
