### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electrolyte**: The electrolyte in this case is an aqueous solution of copper sulfate (CuSO₄). When dissolved in water, it dissociates into its ions: \[ \text{CuSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + \text{SO}_4^{2-} \] Additionally, water also dissociates into hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻): ...
