Question
Explain, why during the electrolysis of copper sulphate using copper electrodes, the colour of solution does not fade?
Solution
During the electrolysis of copper sulphate using copper electrode, the number of copper ions remains same as that for evey copper ions discharged at the cathode, an ion of copper is formed at the anode which goes in the
solution. Thus the colour intensity does not change.
