If electric current passes through water and initiates a decomposition reaction what are the expected products?

When electric current passes through water, a process called electrolysis occurs, leading to the decomposition of water (H₂O) into its constituent elements. The expected products are hydrogen gas (H₂) and oxygen gas (O₂). Specifically, hydrogen is produced at the cathode (negative electrode) and oxygen at the anode (positive electrode). The overall reaction can be represented as 2 H₂O(l) → 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g).
