The chemistry is fairly simple.  Water naturally ionizes into H+ and OH-
ions.  When electric current is passed through water, the H+ ions are
attracted to the - electrode and the OH- ions to the + electrode.  If you
configure the reaction chamber into two parts with some form of semi
permeable barrier to prevent gross mixing, one side will become enriched in
OH- (alkaline) and the other side enriched in H+ (acid.)
