This animation simulates the electrolysis of a neutral aqueous solution.
Electrolysis of a hydrochloric acid solution produces oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode.
In aqueous hydrochloric acid, the electrolyzed solution is acidic at both electrodes.
Electrolysis of a sodium hydroxide solution produces oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode.
In aqueous sodium hydroxide, the electrolyzed solution is basic at both electrodes.
Electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution produces oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode.
In neutral sodium chloride, base is produced at the cathode and acid at the anode.
A simple titration with acetic acid and sodium hydroxide is performed.
