Draw a labelled diagram to show electrolytic refining of copper. State what happens when electric current is passed through the electrolyte taken in this case.
Marking-scheme solution
Diagram- Refer Figure $\displaystyle 3$‧$\displaystyle 12$ page $\displaystyle 52$ NCERT $\displaystyle 2$ Labellings : Electrodes and Electrolyte.
When a current is passed through an aquous solution of \(\displaystyle \mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\), the pure metal from the anode dissolves in the electrolyte ( \(\displaystyle \mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\) solution) and equivalent amount of pure copper from \(\displaystyle \mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\) solution is deposited on the cathode.
Alternate answer:
At anode: Cu ------→ \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\) At Cathode: \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)------ CuAll Metals and Non-metals questions2024 question paperNCERT solutions: Metals and Non-metalsPractice Metals and Non-metals →
