Which pair of electrolytes could not be ...

Which pair of electrolytes could not be distinguished by the products of electrolysis using inert electrodes.

A

1M `CuSO_(4)` solution, `1M CuCl_(2)` solution

B

1M KCl solution, 1M KI solution

C

1 M `AgNO_(3)` solution `1M Cu(NO_(3))` solution

D

1M `CuBr_(2)` solution `1M CuSO_(4)` solution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(A) `CuSO_(4)rarrCu+O_(2):CuCl_(2)rarrCu+I_(2)`
(B) `KClrarrH_(2)+Cl_(2):KIrarrH_(2)+I_(2)`
(C) `AgNO_(3)rarrAG+O_(2),:NaClrarrH_(2)+Cl_(2)`
(D) `KClrarrH_(2)+Cl_(2):NaClrarrH_(2)+Cl_(2)`
(E) `CuBrrarrCu+Br_(2):CuSO_(4)rarrCu+O_(2)`
Thus KCl and NaCl solution give the same products at anode and cathode.

Electrode potential data are used for predicting fessibility of any process. These are particularly useful in deciding products obtained on electrolysis and also on suitability of any substance for quantitative estimation. Some of the electrode potentials are given below: An aqueous solution is taken comprising of Fe^(+3),Mn^(+2),Fe^(+2),C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) and Cl^(-) all at standard conditions. The solution is subjected to electrolysis using inert electrodes ensuring that pH of the solution remains as 7. Identify the option which is correct regarding products obtained [assume that except [H^(+)] all other species involved are present at standard conditions].
