Answer:
CuSO4 -----> Cu2+ +SO42-
H2O ----> H + OH
At cathode
Cu2+(aq) + 2e– ==> Cu(s)
At anode
Cu(s) – 2e– ==> Cu2+(aq)
Explanation:
As copper is an active electrode, copper participates in the electrolytic reeaction and the other ions are collected as anode mud.
At cathode, copper deposit on the cathode, reduction of copper ions oocurs by gain of 2 electrons .
At anode, copper dissolves from the anode, oxidation of copper occurs by loss of 2 electrons .
I HOPE THIS HELPS....
