Solution

The correct option is B negative
When electrical current passes through the solution $C u S O_{4}$ , 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.

Q. Copper deposition takes place on the electrode connected to the battery terminal during the electroplating of copper electrodes.

Q. When electric current is passed through the copper sulfate solution, free copper ions gets drawn to the electrode connected to the .............. terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it.

Deposition of the metal takes place on which electrode during electroplating?

Assertion: Upal observed that copper is deposited on the negative electrode connected to the terminal of the battery. Kavya performed the same experiment but she replaced the copper electrode with a carbon electrode and still observed copper is deposited over carbon rod.

Reason: Copper sulphate solution dissociates into copper and sulphate ions when electricity is passed through dilute copper sulphate solution and this free copper ions deposit on the carbon rod.

Q. Question 19
In the circuit given as figure, Boojho observed that copper is deposited on the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Paheli tried to repeat the same experiment. But she could find only one copper plate. Therefore, she took a carbon rod as the negative electrode. Will copper be still deposited on the carbon rod? Explain your answer.
