34
Q

Reaction at Anode for electrolysis of Copper Sulfate at Anode Carbon

A

4OH=2H2O + O2+4e

35
Q

Products of electrolysis of copper sulfate

A

Anode - Bubbles of colorless gas

Cathode - Reddish Brown Salt

36
Q

observation at electrolysis of copper sulfate carbon

A

the electrolyte turns from blue to colorless

37
Q

reaction at anode in electrolysis of copper sulfate copper

A

40h=2h2o+02+4e

38
Q

why does the size and weight of copper anode decrease

A

because the oxygen formed at anode reacts with the copper electrode and forms copper oxide which goes in water and makes it concentrates

39
Q

reaction at cathode

A

cu2 + 2e=Cu

40
Q

product at anode

A

as copper is formed it makes the anode size bigger and due to this the electrolysis remains the same

41
Q

in purification of metals cathode
