In the electrolytic refining of zinc,

A

Graphite is at the anode

B

The impure metal is at the cathode

C

The metal ion gets reduced at the anode

D

Acidified zinc sulphate is the electrolyte

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The impure zinc is purified electrolytically. The impure metal is made anode and cathode consists of sheets of pure aluminium. A solution of zinc sulphate acts as an electrolyte. Zinc dissolves from anode and deposits on cathode when electric current is passed.
