NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Cathode (i) Cu(s) + 2e– → Cu²+(aq) (b) Anode (ii) Cu²+(aq) + 2e– → Cu(s) (c) Oxidation (iii) Reduction (d) Reduction (iv) Oxidation
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is where reduction occurs (Cu²+(aq) + 2e– → Cu(s)), and the anode is where oxidation occurs (Cu(s) → Cu²+(aq) + 2e–). Therefore, the correct matches are as per option A.
