← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when protium-rich water undergoes electrolysis?
A)Deuterium concentration progressively increases✓
B)Hydrogen gas production remains constant
C)Electrolyte conductivity rapidly decreases
D)Electrodes become entirely passivated
💡 Explanation
Isotopic fractionation occurs during electrolysis; protium reacts faster due to its lower mass, therefore deuterium accumulates in the remaining water because the kinetic isotope effect favors lighter isotopes reacting first, rather than a constant ratio.
