Question

State your observation of the following case :
At the cathode when acidified aqueous copper sulfate solution is electrolyzed with copper electrodes.

Answer 1

• Electrolysis is the chemical decomposition of a compound present in a molten state into its substituent parts by passing an electric current to it.
• When acidified aqueous Copper Sulphate solution is electrolyzed with Copper electrodes, a reddish-colored substance is formed.
• The reddish-colored substance is the Copper$\left(Cu\right)$ which gets deposited at the cathode.

At the cathode when acidified aqueous copper sulfate solution is electrolyzed with copper electrodes, then a reddish colored Copper gets deposited at the Cathode.
