The correct option is C Cl2(g)
In electrolysis of aqueous and concentrated CuCl2 using inert electrodes :
At anode:
Possible reactions are:
2H2O(l)⇌4H+(aq)+O2(g)+4e−
E0H2O/H2=−1.23 V
2Cl−(aq)⇌Cl2(g)+2e−
E0Cl−/Cl2=−1.36 V
Even if E0Cl−/Cl2<E0H2O/O2
Kinetically rate of oxidation of water is very slow. To increase its rate, the greater potential difference is applied called as overpotential. Because of this overpotential (which is the extra potential required to start a reaction), oxidation of Cl– ions becomes more feasible
The reaction that occurs at anode is :
2Cl−(aq)⇌Cl2(g)+2e−
