प्रश्न
Copper sulphate solution is electrolyzed using copper electrodes. Study the diagram given alongside and answer the questions that follow.
- Which electrode to your left or right is known as the oxidizing electrode and why?
- Write the equation representing the reaction that occurs.
- State two appropriate observations for the above electrolysis reactions.
उत्तर
- The electrode on the left (anode) side donates electrons and hence is the oxidizing electrode.
- \[\ce{Cu - 2e- -> Cu^{2+}}\]
- The anode size steadily lowers while the cathode size gradually increases. However, the colour of the copper sulphate solution does not change.

Three different electrolytic cells, A, B and C are connected in separate circuits. Electrolytic cell A contains a sodium chloride solution. When the circuit is completed, a bulb in the circuit glows brightly. Electrolytic cell B contains an acetic acid solution and in this case, the bulb in the circuit glows dimly. The electrolytic cell C contains a sugar solution and the bulb does not glow. Give a reason for each of these observations.
