In the electrolysis of aqueous solution of `CuSO_4` using copper electrodes , the process tha takes place at the anode is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Cu^(+)to2e^(-)toCu` (cathode)
`CutoCu^(2+)+2e^(-)` (anode)
In the electrolysis of aq.. `CuSO_(4)`, as the current flows, copper from anode dissolves while pure copper is deposited on cathode.
