What are possible anode materials for copper(II) sulfate electrolysis?

July 26, 2022Chemistry

Iron, Aluminum and Zinc are all significantly more reactive than Copper, so they will react with the Copper Sulfate and displace the Copper.

What will form at the anode in the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution?

Bubbles of gas (oxygen) are formed at the anode.

What is the anodic product of CuSO4?

O2

From the given figure, it can be seen that electrolysis of dilute solution of CuSO4 results in deposition of copper as cathodic product and O2 is liberated as anodic product.

What are the products in anode & cathode for CuSO4 solution using Cu electrode?

The products of electrolysing copper sulfate solution with copper electrodes are copper metal and copper ions (because the copper anode dissolves).

Is copper sulfate an anode or cathode?

So it can be concluded that, during electrolysis of copper sulfate with copper electrodes, copper is deposited on cathode and same amount of copper is removed from anode.

What are the products obtained at anode and cathode by the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate using platinum electrodes give the chemical equation involved?

Anode reaction: 2H2O(l)→O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e−

What products at anode and cathode will form when a aqueous dilute solution of CuSO4 is electrolyzed using Pt electrodes?

A dilute aqueous solution of CuSO4 is electrolyzed using platinum electrodes. The products at the anode and cathode are:

  • A. O2,H2.
  • B. H2,O2.
  • C. O2,Cu.
  • D. S2O8−,H2.

Which ions go to cathode during the electrolysis of concentrated solution of copper sulphate?

Solution : During electrolysis of copper sulfate solutions, the negative cathode electrode attracts `Cu^(2+)` ions and `H^+` ions. Only copper ion is discharged hence reduce to copper metal.

Which of the following reaction is possible at anode?

Oxidation

Solution : Oxidation occurs at anode.

What is formed at the anode?

At the anode
Oxygen is produced (from hydroxide ions), unless halide ions (chloride, bromide or iodide ions) are present. In that case, the negatively charged halide ions lose electrons and form the corresponding halogen (chlorine, bromine or iodine).

What is anodic dissolution?

Anodic dissolution is an electrochemical process in which metal dissolved from the anodic workpiece and gases liberated at the cathodic tool as well as at the anode surface and various electrochemical reactions take place in the bulk electrolyte.

What is produced at the cathode when copper sulphate is electrolysed?

oxygen gas is formed at the positive electrode.

Why is oxygen formed at the anode copper sulfate?

Copper is less reactive than hydrogen, so copper (Cu) is produced at the negative electrode. The half equation is: Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu The hydroxide ion is more reactive than the sulphate ion, therefore this forms water (H2O) and oxygen at the positive electrode.

What’S produced at the anode and the cathode in the electrolysis?

During the electrolysis of water: H+ ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas. OH – ions are attracted to the anode , lose electrons and form oxygen gas.
