The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which of the following does not evolve oxygen at the anode during electrolysis, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrolysis:** Electrolysis involves the breakdown of a substance into its components using electricity. The reactions occur at two electrodes: the anode (positive electrode) and the cathode (negative electrode). 2. **Analyzing Option A: Dilute H2SO4 with PT Electrode:** - In dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4), we have H⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - At the anode, OH⁻ ions are oxidized to produce oxygen gas (O2). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ 4OH^- \rightarrow 2H2O + O2 + 4e^- \] - Therefore, O2 is evolved at the anode. 3. **Analyzing Option B: Fused Sodium Hydroxide with PT Electrode:** - In fused sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we have Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - At the anode, OH⁻ ions are again oxidized to produce oxygen gas (O2). - The reaction is similar to that in option A: \[ 4OH^- \rightarrow 2H2O + O2 + 4e^- \] - Thus, O2 is evolved at the anode. 4. **Analyzing Option C: Acidic Water with PT Electrode:** - Acidic water contains H⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - At the anode, OH⁻ ions are oxidized to produce oxygen gas (O2). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ 4OH^- \rightarrow 2H2O + O2 + 4e^- \] - Therefore, O2 is evolved at the anode. 5. **Analyzing Option D: Dilute Sulfuric Acid Using Copper Electrode:** - In this case, we have dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with a copper (Cu) electrode. - At the anode, copper is oxidized instead of OH⁻ ions: \[ Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \] - Since the oxidation of copper occurs, there is no evolution of oxygen gas (O2) at the anode. ### Conclusion: The option that does not evolve oxygen at the anode during electrolysis is **Option D: Dilute sulfuric acid using copper electrode**.
