NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells MCQ Question
What is deposited at the cathode during the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution?
Copper metal
Copper ions
Silver metal
Hydrogen gas
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
During the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution, Cu²⁺ ions are discharged at the cathode, leading to the deposition of copper metal. This is described in the reaction Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
