NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Easy-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Cathode Reaction (i) Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e – → Cu (s) (b) Anode Reaction (ii) Cu(s) → Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e – (c) Electrolytic Cell (iii) Uses external voltage (d) Electrolysis (iv) Involves oxidation and reduction
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
D
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In an electrolytic cell, the cathode reaction involves the reduction of Cu 2+ ions to solid copper, while the anode reaction involves the oxidation of solid copper to Cu 2+ ions. Electrolytic cells utilize external voltage to drive non-spontaneous reactions, which involve both oxidation and reduction processes.
