Two platinum electrodes were immersed in a solution of `CuSO_(4)` and electric current was passed through the solution. After some time, it was found that colour of `CuSO_(4)` disappeared with evolution of gas at the electrode. The colourless solution contains.A. Platinum sulphateB. Copper sulphateC. Copper hydroxideD. Sulphuric acid

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`2Cu^(+2)overset(+4e^(-))rarr2Cu` (cathode)
`2H_(2)O overset(-4e^(-))rarrO_(2)uparrow+4H^(+)("anode")2H^(+)+SO_(4)^(-2) rarrH_(2)SO_(4)`
