    Which element is essential for photolysis of water?                                  

    A)  Nitrogen                            

    B)  Chlorine         

    C)  Carbon                               

    D)  Oxygen         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Photolysis of water is the phenomenon, which is associated with pigment system-II and are catalysed by the presence of \[M{{n}^{2+}}\] and \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions. When photosystem is active the water molecules split into \[O{{H}^{-}}\] and \[{{H}^{+}}\] ions. The OH- ions unite to form water molecules again and release O2 and electron. \[\text{4}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\,\,\rightleftharpoons {{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\text{4O}{{\text{H}}^{\text{-}}}\]\[\text{4}{{\text{H}}^{-}}\xrightarrow[M{{n}^{2+}},C{{l}^{-}}]{Z-complex}\,2{{\text{H}}_{2}}O\,+\,{{O}_{2}}\,\uparrow \,+4{{e}^{-}}\]
