Question
State the observations at the anode and at the cathode during the electrolysis of copper sulphate solution using copper electrodes.
Solution
Observations:
Anode: Nothing gets deposited on the anode because the copper anode dissolves during the reaction as Cu2+ ions are formed
Cathode: Reddish brown Cu is deposited.
