The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of electrolysis of aqueous \( \text{CuBr}_2 \) using a platinum electrode, we will analyze the reactions occurring at both the anode and cathode. ### Step 1: Identify the Electrolyte and Its Components The electrolyte in this case is aqueous \( \text{CuBr}_2 \). It dissociates into \( \text{Cu}^{2+} \) ions and \( \text{Br}^{-} \) ions in solution: \[ \text{CuBr}_2 \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2\text{Br}^{-} \] **Hint:** Remember that the ions present in the solution will determine the reactions that occur during electrolysis. ### Step 2: Determine the Reaction at the Cathode At the cathode, reduction occurs. The \( \text{Cu}^{2+} \) ions gain electrons to form solid copper: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu (s)} \] **Hint:** At the cathode, look for the species that can gain electrons. ### Step 3: Determine the Reaction at the Anode At the anode, oxidation occurs. The \( \text{Br}^{-} \) ions lose electrons to form bromine gas: \[ 2\text{Br}^{-} \rightarrow \text{Br}_2 (g) + 2e^{-} \] **Hint:** At the anode, identify the species that can lose electrons. ### Step 4: Analyze the Options Now, let's evaluate the options provided in the question: 1. **Option A:** \( \text{Br}_2 \) gaseous is evolved at the anode. - This is correct because bromine gas is produced at the anode. 2. **Option B:** Copper solid is deposited at the cathode. - This is correct because solid copper is deposited at the cathode. 3. **Option C:** \( \text{Br}_2 \) gaseous is evolved at the anode and \( \text{H}_2 \) at the cathode. - This is incorrect because only \( \text{Cu} \) is deposited at the cathode, not \( \text{H}_2 \). 4. **Option D:** \( \text{H}_2 \) gas is evolved at the anode. - This is incorrect because \( \text{H}_2 \) is not produced at the anode; \( \text{Br}_2 \) is produced instead. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct options are: - Option A: \( \text{Br}_2 \) gaseous is evolved at anode (Correct) - Option B: Copper solid is deposited at cathode (Correct) **Final Answer:** Options A and B are correct.
