How can we perform electrolysis of water?

   Here are the procedures and steps you have to follow for the electrolysis.
   Fill the glass of water of level ¾ of glass.
   Add one table spoon of salt water in the water glass. Salt helps in passing the electricity.
   After this place a piece of cardboard over the opening of glass. Put two electrical wires which are approximately 30 to 60 cm long. Attach the other end of the wires to the positive and negative terminals of a nine volt battery. Bubbles will start to emerge on the submerged cells of the wires, hydrogen gas will appear on the negative wire while oxygen gas will appear on the positive wire. If you want sizeable amount of hydrogen then follow the following steps
   Submerge the small container in a larger glass and flip the smaller glass so that the opening faces towards the bottom of glass but do it without flipping the small glass from the big glass inside it.
   While performing this you have to keep certain things in mind which are
   Hydrogen gas is very explosive when it is mixed with oxygen so if you want to go for producing a large amount of gas, do not perform the experiment in the same container. Also do not add too much salt otherwise the wire that is producing oxygen will start to transform into poisonous gas.
