SOP of Cu is greater than SOP of water (H2O → O2) and SRP of Cu is greater than SRP of water (H2O → H2).

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

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

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

Q. Statement 1: Copper is dissolved at anode and deposited at cathode when Cu electrodes are used and electrolyte is 1MCuSO4​ (aq) solution. Statement 2: SOP of Cu is less than SOP of water and SRP of Cu is greater than SRP of water.
