predict the products of electrolysis of aqueous solution of CuCl2 using Pt electrodes

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

In solution:   CuCl₂ (s) -----> Cu²⁺ + 2Cl^-

                     H₂O ----> H⁺ + OH^-

At Cathode: Cu²⁺ + 2e^- ----->  Cu(s)

At Anode: 2Cl^-  -----> Cl₂ + 2e^-

Therefore, Cu is deposited at cathode and Cl₂ gas is evolved at anode.
