Give reasons for the following
The blue colour of aqueous copper sulphate fades when it is electrodes.

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Blue Color of Copper Sulfate:** - Aqueous copper sulfate (CuSO₄) appears blue due to the presence of copper(II) ions (Cu²⁺). - The blue color is attributed to the electronic transitions of the copper ions, specifically due to the presence of unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals. The electronic configuration of Cu²⁺ is [Ar] 3d⁹, which allows for d-d transitions that absorb certain wavelengths of light, resulting in the blue color. 2. **Electrolysis Process:** - When copper sulfate solution is subjected to electrolysis, an electric current is passed through the solution, causing chemical reactions at the electrodes. ...
