Question

Statement 1: Copper is dissolved at anode and deposited at cathode when Cu electrodes are used and electrolyte is $1 M CuSO_{4}$ (aq) solution.
Statement 2: SOP of Cu is less than SOP of water and SRP of Cu is greater than SRP of water.

• A. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• B. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• C. If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
• D. If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$SOP$ of $Cu$ is greater than $SOP$ of water $(H_{2}O \to O_{2})$ and
$SRP$ of $Cu$ is greater than $SRP$ of water $(H_{2}O \to H_{2})$.
