Question

During the electrolysis of copper (Ⅱ) sulphate solution using platinum as cathode and carbon as anode “Write the reactions at the cathode and at the anode”.

Open in App

Solution

Reaction at cathode and anode are as follows,
Reaction at the cathode:
$C u^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} \to C u$
Reaction at the anode:
$40 H^{-} - 4 e^{-} \to 2 H_{2} O + O_{2}$
