Solution

The correct option is C
Copper gets deposited on the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery

When electric current is passed through the copper sulphate solution, copper sulphate dissociates into copper and sulphate. The free copper gets drawn to the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it.

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

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.
