Hydrogen is produced at the anode at twice the rate of oxygen produced at the cathode, because of the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen that makes up water: 2 : 1.

What happen when electric current is passed through slightly acidic water?
Hydrogen gas evolves from the cathode and oxygen gas evolves from the anode.
How can you make NaOH from sea water and what are the reactions?
Sea water mainly comprising of NaCl is separated and formed into a concentrated solution of NaCl called 'Brine'. Than in a diaphragm cell you add the NaCl (conc) and use Titanium Anode and Steel Cathode. At Anode Cl2 gas is released and Cathode H2 gas is released and the remaining solution is NaOH which is filtered out.
Will using potassium hydroxide during electrolysis produce chlorine gas?
If you mean just potassium hydroxide or its aqueous solution, then no, because their are no chlorine atoms present. The only elements present are potassium, hydrogen and oxygen. Molten KOH produces potassium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, and the solution gives hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
How does gas pressure on the electrode and or electrolyte affect voltage and amperage or current in a gas electrode especially oxygen?
If your talking about pressure electrolysis, you pressurize the whole cell containing the anode and cathode. In the case of electrolyzing water, if you use a standard pressure cell there will be oxygen gas at one cathode and hydrogen gas at the other anode. Depending on current the gas bubbles at both poles can be quite active and large quantities of gas bubbles. If you do the same operation under pressure electrolysis the rising pressure in the cell causes the gas bubbles to shrink by a propotionate amount. Double the pressure and you shrink the bubbles by half. With the gas bubbles being smaller more current can be applied to the cell because the smaller bubbles give more surface area on the anode and cathode for the electricity to reach. With standard pressure cells the bubble activity around the electrodes is intense enough that the bubbles actually shield the electrodes from the electrolytic solution, and the current can't travel thru the gas bubbles to get to the electrodes. So you can only apply so much current. The higher you raise the pressure the smaller the gas bubbles get and the more current you can run thru the electrolyzer .
What is the gas evolved at anode during electrolysis of aqueous NaCl?
Chlorine Gas is evolved at the anode.
What would be formed at the cathode and the anode during the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide solution?
Hydrogen gas would evolve from the cathode and oxygen gas would evolve from the anode.
What is formed at the anode and the cathode during the electrolysis of sodium iodide?
If a solution of NaI is electrolyzed, iodine is formed at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. In the instance if it is the molten liquid of NaI, it would emit sodium from the sodium at the cathode and iodine at the anode.
How anode rays are formed from the gas?
Gas discharge tubes are what cause the formation of the anode rays. Several thousand bolts are put towards the cathode, which is apart of the gas discharge tubes, and the anode. This creates the anode rays.
Why are different products obtained when molten and aqueous NaCl are electrolized?
When molten NaCl is electrolyzed, the two elements sodium and chlorine are produced at the cathode and anode respectively. In an aqueous solution, however, hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode, because these reactions can occur at lower electrode potentials than the production of the elements of NaCl.
What A low pressure gas filled glass tube which generates a glowing beam between cathode and anode?
Cathode ray.
How do you separate chlorine from salt?
Electrolyse the molten salt. This will form sodium at the cathode and Cl2 at the anode. Electrolysis of an aqueous solution odf salt will produce hydrogen at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode.
When an electric current passed through water which gas is obtained on anode?
The anode is the negative electrode. It produces hydrogen gas.
What are the three components in a gas discharge lamp system?
A gas discharge lamp has a gas and has a cathode, an anode, and an ignition electrode. Individual discharges of a series of lamp discharges are spaced at least one millisecond from each other, and the individual discharges are generated by providing an electrical charge between the cathode and the anode and providing two or more electrical pulses to the ignition electrode. The second and following electrical pulses occur within a predetermined time of the first pulse. The electrical charge between the cathode and anode is of sufficient voltage and current to create an electrical arc between the cathode and the anode with the gas is ionized.
What are the products of electrolysisof molten sodium chloride?
Sodium metal at the cathode, chlorine gas at the anode
How is the formation of anode and cathode rays?
Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode. When a high electrical potential of several thousand volts is applied between the cathode and anode, faint luminous "rays" are seen extending from the holes in the back of the cathode. These rays are beams of particles moving in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays," which are streams of electronswhich move toward the anode. Goldstein called these positive rays Kanalstrahlen, "channel rays" or "canal rays", because they were produced by the holes or channels in the cathode
What happen when electric current is passed through slightly acidic water?
Hydrogen gas evolves from the cathode and oxygen gas evolves from the anode.
When electric current is pass through water which gas is obtained from cathode?
oxygen and hydrogen gas
