Question

In the electrolysis of aqueous CuBr₂ using Pt electrodes :

A.Br₂ gas is evolved at the anode

B.Cu (s) is deposited at the cathode

C.Br₂ gas is evolved at anode and H₂ gas at cathode

D.H₂ gas is evolved at anode.

(A, B) At Cathode :
Cu²⁺ + 2e- → Cu(s)
2Br^- + → Br₂ + 2e^-
__________________
Cu²⁺ + 2Br^- → Br₂ + Cu(s).
