Question
Explain electrolysis of sulphuric acid.
✓
Answer
→ In the electrolysis of dilute Sulphuric acid only electrolysis of water occurs. $ \begin{array}{l} 2 H _2 O ( l ) \rightarrow O _2(g)+4 H ^{+}( aq )+4 e ^{-} E _{\text {(cell) }}^{\ominus}= \\+1.23 V\end{array} $ → Electrolysis of concentrated sulphuric acid oxidise $SO _4^{-2}$ ion $S _2 O _8^{-2}$ $ 2 SO _4^{2-}( aq ) \rightarrow S _2 O _8^{2-}( aq )+2 e ^{-} E _{(\text {cell })}^{\ominus}=1.96 V $
