During electrolytic refining of zinc, it gets

A

deposited on cathode

B

deposited on anode

C

deposited on cathode as well as anode

D

remains in the solution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
During electrolytic refining of zinc (Zn), the pure zinc metal is deposited on cathode. It is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. `Zn^(2+)` ions from the solution move towards the negatively charged cathode. Hence Zn is deposited on the cathode.
