A student electrolyses dilute sulfuric acid and measures the volume of hydrogen gas produced at the cathode over time.

The table below shows their results:

Time (minutes)Volume of hydrogen (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)
00.0
46.0
812.0
1218.0
1632.0
2030.0
a.

One of the results in the table is anomalous. State the time (in minutes) at which this anomalous result was recorded.

[1]
b.

Using the remaining, non-anomalous data, calculate the rate of hydrogen gas production in cm3/min\text{cm}^3/\text{min}cm3/min.

c.

Dilute copper(II) sulfate solution contains the following particles:

H+Cu2+OH−SO42−H2O\text{H}^+ \quad \text{Cu}^{2+} \quad \text{OH}^- \quad \text{SO}_4^{2-} \quad \text{H}_2\text{O}H+Cu2+OH−SO42−​H2​O

Which of these particles are attracted to the positive electrode (anode)?

[2]
d.

Complete the following statements about the electrolysis of molten salts:

  1. For molten potassium iodide (KI\text{KI}KI), the product formed at the positive electrode (anode) is ______________.
  2. For molten lead(II) bromide (PbBr2\text{PbBr}_2PbBr2​), the product formed at the negative electrode (cathode) is ______________.
