Question:
What happens to an Aqueous Solution of Copper Sulphate when Electrolysis takes place?
Author: eric_galvaoAnswer:
-4 Ions appear. Cu²+, SO⁴²-, H+ and OH- -Copper is less Reactive than Hydrogen, so the Cathode sees Copper Metal being Formed. This coats the Cathode [Cu²+ + 2e- ---> Cu] -No Halide Ions are here, so Oxygen and Water is made. [4OH- --> O² + 2H²O + 4 e-] -This can be proven as Oxygen can Relight a Glowing Splint
