Question

A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes. The products at cathode and anode are respectively (A)  H2, O2  (B)  O2, H2  (C)  O2, Na  (D)  O2, SO2

H2O is reduced as well as oxidised giving H2 (g) at cathode and O2 (g) at anode.

Q. A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes. The products at cathode and anode are respectively

$H_{2}, O_{2}$

$O_{2}, H_{2}$

$O_{2}, N a$

$O_{2}, S O_{2}$

$H_{2} O$ is reduced as well as oxidised giving $H_{2} (g)$ at cathode and $O_{2} (g)$ at anode.
