In the electrochemical cell
`H_(2)(g),"1 atm"|H^(+)(1M)"||"Cu^(2+)(1M)|Cu(s)`, which one of the following statements is true?

A

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

B

Oxidation occurs at Cu electrode

C

Reduction occurs at `H_(2)` electrode

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H_(2)` is anode because oxidation takes place.
Cu is cathode because reduction takes place.
