Statement-1: When acidified zinc sulphate solution is electrolysed between zinc electrodes, it is zinc that is deposited at the cathode and no H_(2) gas is evolved. Statement-2: The electrode potential of zinc is more negative than that of hydrogen as the overvoltage for the H_(2) evolution on zinc is quite large.
