Question

In the purification of copper, a setup of electrolytic cell is shown below. Choose the correct options related to this setup. The positive ion Q is :

• A. $Z{n}^{2+}$
• B. $A{g}^{+}$
• C. $C{u}^{2+}$
• D. $H^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $C{u}^{2+}$

During the electroplating process or the purification process rather, the copper from the impure plate is transferred to the pure copper plate , through the electrolytic copper sulphate solution.

Hence , the solution can be a salt solution consisting of copper ions ($C{u}^{2+}$).

Hence , option C is correct .
