The correct Answer is:
To determine in which case oxygen gas (O₂) is evolved at the anode during electrolysis, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrolysis and Anode Reactions**: - During electrolysis, oxidation occurs at the anode. This means that substances lose electrons, and in some cases, water can be oxidized to produce oxygen gas. 2. **Analyzing Option A: H₂SO₄ with Platinum Electrode**: - At the anode, water (from the sulfuric acid solution) can be oxidized to produce oxygen gas. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ 2H₂O \rightarrow O₂ + 4H^+ + 4e^- \] - Thus, O₂ is produced in this case. 3. **Analyzing Option B: AgNO₃ with Platinum Electrode**: - In this case, the oxidation of water also occurs at the anode: \[ 2H₂O \rightarrow O₂ + 4H^+ + 4e^- \] - Therefore, O₂ is also produced in this case. 4. **Analyzing Option C: H₂SO₄ with Copper Electrode**: - Here, copper is oxidized instead of water: \[ Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \] - In this case, no oxygen gas is produced at the anode. 5. **Analyzing Option D: NaOH with Iron Cathode and Nickel Anode**: - At the anode, hydroxide ions (OH⁻) can be oxidized to produce oxygen gas: \[ 4OH^- \rightarrow O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e^- \] - Thus, O₂ is produced in this case as well. 6. **Conclusion**: - From the analysis, we find that oxygen gas is evolved at the anode in options A, B, and D. Therefore, the correct answer is A, B, and D. ### Final Answer: O₂ is evolved at the anode in options A, B, and D.
