Answer» (a) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of very dilute sulphuric acid: OH- ⟶ OH + e- 4OH ⟶ 2H2O + O2 (b) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate solution 4OH- ⟶ 4OH + 4e- 4OH ⟶ 2H2O +O2 (c) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution 2Cl- ⟶ Cl2 + 2e- (d) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of fused lead bromide Br- - e- ⟶ Br Br + Br ⟶ Br2 (e) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of magnesium chloride (molten) 2Cl- ⟶ Cl2 + 2e- |
