Question

The role of copper diaphragm in Whytlaw-Gray's method is (A) preventing the corrosion of electroytic cell (B) preventing the mixing of H 2 and F 2 (C) as anode (D) as cathode

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In Whytlaw-Gray's method for preparation of fluorine, the copper diaphragm is used to prevent the mixing of H 2 and F 2 liberated at cathode and anode respectively.
