Question

sodium chloride solution is electrolysed using platinum electrodes write the chemical equation of the reaction at cathode

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The half-reaction on the cathode where reduction occurs is Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- = Cu(s). Here, the copper ions gain electrons and become solid copper. The entire reaction can be written by combining both half-reactions: Zn(s) + Cu2+ (aq) = Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s).
