Electrolysis of Water

Below are the chemical equations that were used in the energy production proof here. It proves how much Voltage, or activation energy, to allow the reaction to go.

2 H₂O(l) --> 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

2 H2O + 2 e- --> H2 + 2 OH-			Eored = -0.83 V
2 H2O --> O2 + 4 H+ + 4 e-			Eoox = -1.23 V
