When electric current is passed through copper sulphate solution copper gets deposited on the anode. True or False
Answers
Answer:
The Correct Answer is False
Explanation:
Copper is deposited at the cathode when electricity is passed through a copper sulphate solution using copper electrodes. This happens in the following way: Copper sulphate dissociates into copper ions and sulphate ions when electricity is conducted through the solution.
Copper sulphate dissociates into copper ions and sulphate ions when electricity is conducted through the solution. The copper ions travel to the electrode linked to the battery's negative terminal (cathode) and deposit on it.
Answer :
The Answer is False.
Explanation :
Because when Electric Current is passed through a copper sulphate solution, the solution gets decomposed into positively charged copper ions and negatively charged sulphate ions .
Being a positively charged, copper ions gets attracted towards the negatively charged electrode i.e. Cathode.
Hence the copper ions gets deposited on cathode and not on anode.
