प्रश्न
During the electrolysis of copper (II) sulphate solution using platinum as cathode and carbon as anode:
- What do you observe at the cathode and at the anode?
- What change is noticed in the electrolyte?
- Write the reactions at the cathode and at the anode.
उत्तर
- Cathode: Reddish brown deposition of copper occurs at the cathode.
Anode: Colourless gas is evolved at the anode. - The colour of the electrolytes changes gradually from blue to colourless.
- At the cathode:
\[\ce{Cu^{2+} + 2e- -> Cu}\]
At the anode:
\[\ce{OH- -1e^- -> OH}\]
\[\ce{4OH -> 2H2O + O2 ^}\]

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.
