Vedclass · Answer

(A) For $CuCl_2$:$1$. Electrolysis of fused $CuCl_2$: $Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu$ (at cathode) and $2Cl^- \rightarrow Cl_2 + 2e^-$ (at anode).$2$. Electrolysis of concentrated aqueous $CuCl_2$: $Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu$ (at cathode) and $2Cl^- \rightarrow Cl_2 + 2e^-$ (at anode).Since the products at both electrodes are the same ($Cu$ and $Cl_2$),$CuCl_2$ is the correct answer.

Which compound gives the same product on electrolysis of fused metal salt and concentrated aqueous solution?
