when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
hydrogen and oxygen

Hydrogen and oxygen both r produced hydrogen at cathode and oxygen at anode.
Typically passing electricity through tap water will begin to separate the hydrogen and oxygen in H2O. Oxygen bubbles will begin to accumulate at the positive contact and hydrogen to accumulate at the negative contact.

Electric decomposition or electrolytic decomposition takes place (both are the same and mean the same)
The process of decomposition of an electrolyte, by passing an electric current from an outside source through it, is known as electrolysis. For example, when an electric current is passed through acidified water, water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
When electricity passes through water, the hydrogen and oxygen separate and bubble off as gases.
Water is not an element. It is composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom, therefore it is a compound. However, when you pass electricity through water under the right circumstance, the electricity will split the water into its component elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The best way to treat sour water is to pass it through a hot flash drum to liberate hydrogen sulphide.
