Which of the following statements is true for an electrochemical cell of Cu-`H_(2)`?

A

`H_(2)` is cathode and Cu is anode

B

`H_(2)` is anode and Cu is anode

C

Reduction occurs at `H_(2)` electrode

D

Oxidation occurs at Cu electrode

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In electrochemical cell `H_(2)` has greater tendency to release electrons .
`therefore H_(2)` is liberated at anode and Cu is deposited at the cathode .
