Question

In an aqueous solution if $F^{-}$ ions are present then

• A. oxidation of water occurs at the cathode
• B. oxidation of water occurs at the anode
• C. oxidation of water occurs at both cathode and anode
• D. oxidation of water doesn't occur

Answer 1

The correct option is B

oxidation of water occurs at the anode

oxidation of water occurs at the anode because, the oxidation potential of water > oxidation potential of $F^{-}$
