Question

When an electric current is passed through the copper sulphate solution, copper sulphate dissociates into copper and (i)_____________. The free copper gets drawn to the electrode connected to the (ii)_________ terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it. From the other electrode, a copper plate, an equal amount of (iii)__________gets dissolved in the solution. Thus, the loss of copper from the solution is restored and the process continues. This means that copper gets transferred from one electrode to the other. The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material by means of electricity is called (iv)_______________.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When electrical current passes through the solution CuSO4, copper sulphate dissociates into copper and sulphate ions. Positive copper ions are drawn to the electrode connected to the battery's negative terminal and deposited as copper metal.
