What happens at the anode and cathode in the electrolysis of copper?

The anode (positive electrode ) is made from impure copper and the cathode (negative electrode) is made from pure copper. During electrolysis, the anode loses mass as copper dissolves, and the cathode gains mass as copper is deposited. A half-equation shows what happens at one of the electrodes during electrolysis.

What happens at the anode during the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution using copper electrodes?

The change involves two electrons per copper atom. When copper electrodes are used in the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution, the mass loss of copper from the positive anode electrode should equal the mass of copper gained and deposited on the negative cathode electrode.

What will occur at cathode and anode of an aqueous CuSO4 solution is electrolysed using Cu electrode?

Copper is dissolved at anode and deposited at cathode when Cu electrodes are used and electrolyte is 1MCuSO4(aq) solution.

When CuSO4 is electrolysed the cathode reaction will be?

at cathode: Cu→Cu+2+2e−

What is produced at anode on electrolysis of CuSO4?

O2 at anode, cathode gets dissolved.

When CuSO4 solution is Electrolysed substance formed at anode is?

copper metal is formed at the negative electrode. oxygen gas is formed at the positive electrode.

What is produced at anode on electrolysis of cuso4?

When cuso4 solution is Electrolysed substance formed at anode is?

What will happen during the electrolysis of aqueous solution of cuso4 by using graphite electrodes?

Copper will dissolve at anode.

Which of the following reaction occur during the electrolysis of cuso4 solution using copper electrodes?

Answer: The electrolysis of an aqueous solution of copper sulphate using copper electrodes (i.e. using active electrodes) results in transfer of copper metal from the anode to the cathode during electrolysis. The copper sulphate is ionised in aqueous solution.

What product would you expect at cathode and anode during electrolysis of cuso4 solution using platinum electrode?

During electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate solution using platinum electrodes, the blue colour of the electrolytic solution fades and towards the end of the process bubbles appear at the cathode.
