Question

A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed

using inert electrodes. The product at the cathode

and anode are respectively :–

(1) H2

, SO2

(2) O2

, H2

(3) O2

, Na (4) H2

, O​

Answer 1

Answer:

A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes , the product at cathode and anode will be H2,O2

Answer 2

Answer:H2 02

Explanation:A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes , the product at cathode and anode will be H2,O2 . Here , the hydrogen has a higher reduction than sodium so it will be liberated at cathode . similarly hydroxide ions have lower discharge than sulphate ions so it will liberate on the anode .
