The two aqueous solutions, `A (AgNO_3)` and `B (LiCI)`, were electrolysed using Pt electrodes. The `pH` of the resulting solutions will.

Options

A. increase in A and decrease B
B. decreases in both
C. increase in both
D. decreases in A and increase B.

Answer

D

Explanation

`AgNO_(3)` At cathode:
`Ag^(+)+e^(-)toAg(s)`
At anode:
`2H_(2)OtoO_(2)+4H^(+)+4e^(-)`
`therefore` at cathode pH will increase.
