Question
An acidic solution of copper (II) sulphate containing some contaminations of zinc and iron (II) ions was electrolysed till all the copper is deposited. If electrolysis is further continued for sometime, the product liberated at cathode would be :
Options
A.Fe
B.Zn
C.H2
D.Alloy of Zn and Fe.
