Explanation:

Answer 2

In the process of electrolytic refining of copper, the electrolyte used is acidified copper sulphate . Impure metal is made as an anode and pure metal is made as a cathode. On passing the electric current through the electrolyte, the impure metal from anode dissolves into the electrolyte solution.
