← ScienceWhich risk increases substantially when water undergoes electrolysis?
A)Explosive gas mixture formation✓
B)Electrode material dissolution accelerates
C)Localized supercooling of electrolyte
D)Dielectric breakdown in electrolytic cell
💡 Explanation
The risk increases because the electrolysis uses the mechanism of redox, dividing water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen form an explosive mixture; therefore, an explosion risk prevails, rather than dielectric breakdown which depends on cell voltage.
