Question

Give reaction taking place during electrolysis of aqueous cuso4 in
in same metal electrode is used
if inert metal electrode is used​

Answer 1

Answer:

Give recation taking place during electrolysis of aqueous cuso4 in

(a)- If the same metal electrode is used

(b)- If inert metal electrode is used

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrolyte CuSO 4dissociates as Cu 2+ and SO 42−along with H+ and OH − ions in the aqueous solution. At cathode (reduction):As Cu 2+has higher reduction potential than H + , it gets preferentially reduced.2Cu 2+ +4e − →2CuAt anode (oxidation):As OH − has higher oxidation potential than SO 42− , it gets preferentially oxidised.4OH −

→2H 2 O+O 2+4e −

Hence, Cu at cathode and O

2 at anode are produced by electrolysis of aqueous CuSO 4 with inert electrodes.
