Question 24
H

Which half equation represents the reaction at the negative electrode in the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution?

[1]
A

Cu2++2e−→Cu\text{Cu}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Cu}Cu2++2e−→Cu

B

Cu→Cu2++2e−\text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^-Cu→Cu2++2e−

C

2H++2e−→H22\text{H}^+ + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{H}_22H++2e−→H2​

D

Cu2+→Cu+2e−\text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Cu} + 2\text{e}^-Cu2+→Cu+2e−
