An aqueous solution of `CuSO_(4)` is electrolyszed using `Pt` electrodes in one case and `Cu` electrodes in another case. What are the products of electrolysis in both the cases ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the products of electrolysis of an aqueous solution of `CuSO4` using `Pt` electrodes and `Cu` electrodes, we will analyze each case step by step. ### Step 1: Electrolysis using Platinum Electrodes 1. **Ionization of Copper Sulfate**: In an aqueous solution, `CuSO4` dissociates into `Cu^2+` ions and `SO4^2-` ions. Additionally, water can also dissociate into `H^+` and `OH^-` ions. - **Equation**: `CuSO4 (aq) → Cu^2+ (aq) + SO4^2- (aq)` ...
