Compound X, which is used for drinking, has pH value 7. Electrolysis of an acidic solution of
X gives gases Y and Z. The volume of Y is twice that of Z. Y burns rapidly while Z supports
burning. Identify X, Y and Z and write the equations for the described reactions.

y-hydrogen
z-oxygen
when electricity is passed through water mixed with acid hydrogen and oxygen is formed.
Hydrolysis of H2O gives Y=H2 ( WHICH BURNS RAPIDLY) and Z= O2
(WHICH WILL SUPPORT BURNING)
2 H2O --------- 2 H2 + O2
(X) (Y) (Z)
