Copper can be deposited from acidified copper sulphate and alkaline cuprous cyanide. If the same current is passed for a definite time `:`

A

The amount of copper deposited from acidic copper sulphate will be higher.

B

The amount of copper deposited from alkaline cuprous cyanide will be higher

C

The same amount of copper will be deposited.

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Alkaline solution will keep `H^(o+)` low so that there is a very small concentration. Hence, chances of `H^(o+)` getting reduced to `H_(2)` along with `Cu` are lesser in alkaline cuprous cyanide as compared to acidified copper sulphate.
