please solve 1st
Dear Student,
Correct answer is oxygen.
Sulphuric acid is a strong electrolyte and is fully dissociated.
H2SO4 → 2H+ + SO4 2 -
Water is a weak electrolyte and is only slightly dissociated
H2O → H+ + OH-
Reaction at cathode:
2H+ + 2e- → H2
Hydrogen gas will be evolved, as it is lower in the electrochemical series than sodium.
Reaction at anode:
4OH- + 4e- → 2H2O + O2
Oxygen will be evolved at anode.
Regards
