If electrolysis splits water, why does only either hydrogen or oxygen (but not both) bubble up on one pole?
If electrolysis splits water, then that means that $\ce{H2O}$ is split into $\ce{H}$ and $\ce{OH}$ or $\ce{O}$.
How come that if a water molecule is split at e.g. the negative pole (anode), only the ...

How does high-frequency electrolysis of water work?
I have read that combining the DC current with a high-frequency AC current, the electrolysis of water speeds up. Is this true? In that case, how is less energy wasted as heat? Or does it simply ...

Why is the ionic product of water $K_w$ the same in acid, water, and alkali? [duplicate]
Seen on the web:
The concentration of [H+] and [OH−] both vary based on the the composition (acid/alkaline) of the solution, but the remarkable thing is that their product does not. When [H+] goes ...
