Why is the volume of gas collected twice of the volume of other gas when electric current is passed through water?

When an electric current is passed through water, water is split into it's two component gasses- hydrogen and oxygen. You will get about twice as much hydrogen as oxygen- since water (H2O) has twice the hydrogen as oxygen.

When an electric current is passed through water, it undergoes electrolysis, which breaks water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen gas produced is 2:1, meaning that for every two volumes of hydrogen gas collected, one volume of oxygen gas is collected. Therefore, the volume of gas collected is twice as much for hydrogen compared to oxygen gas.
