Question

what is reaction of electrolysis of barium hydroxide using
nickel as a catalyst??

Mohit Gupta · Accepted Answer

Pure hydrogen gas can be prepared by the electrolysis of warm
solution of barium hydroxide using platinum or nickel electrodes As
water does not conduct electricity very well, so it is usual to
electrolyse aqueous solution of barium hydroxide The gases produced
in the anode and cathode compartment must be kept separate
Following reactions occur at anode and cathode

Anode

2OH -
-------->
H 2
O
+ Â½ O 2
+
2e-

Cathode

2H 2
O
+ 2e-
----->
2OH -
+
H 2

overall reaction being

H 2
O
--------> H 2
+
1/2 O 2
