MCQ
When electrolyte dilute $CuSO _4$ solution undergoes dissociation of electrolytes.
Which ions combinations discharge at cathode and anode?
P. Cathode: $Cu ^{2+}$ Anode: $OH ^{-}$
Q. Cathode: $Cu ^{2+}$ Anode: $SO _4{ }^{2-}$
R Cathode : $Cu ^{2+}$ Anode : $Cl ^{-}$
  • A
    Only P
  • B
    Only Q
  • C
    Only R
  • D
    Both Q and R

Answer

A. Only P
Explanation: On dissociation of dil. copper sulphate electrolyte, ions that migrate to cathode is $Cu ^{2+}, H ^{+}$, and the ions that discharge at cathode is $Cu ^{2+}$. Ions that migrate to anode is $SO _4{ }^{2-} OH ^{-}$, where ion discharge at anode is OH .
