Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Photolysis is occur in persence of light quanta and requires $ M{n^{++}} $ and $ C{l^{-}} $ ions as catalyst for water oxidising.
$ 4H_2O\xrightarrow{M{n^{++}}C{l^{-}}}4{{(OH)}^{-}}+4{H^{+}} $ Then H radicle formes water and $ O_2 $ as a by-product $ 4OH\xrightarrow{{}}2H_2O+O_2\uparrow $
