So we know water is a polar molecule due to London forces, which is why creating what is basically a capacitor aids in the separation of water into oxygen and hydrogen using electrolysis.

So what exactly happens when you run an arc electrode underwater? What electro- chemical reactions take place?

You do electrolysis inefficiently!

>> creating what is basically a capacitor
No.

How is it not a capacitor?

It has two voltages suspended through a cathode and an anode with an impermeable medium between them.

How come nobody on this god damn website knows what the fuck they are talking about?

Look up capacitor in a textbook sometime, you god damn pleb, thats EXACTLY what a capacitor is.

Well for one, in order for electrolysis to happen, a current must be able to flow through the medium being electrolyzed. The medium being electrolyzed is far from impermeable. Perhaps this gif of polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis will make you understand
