The role of copper diaphragm in Whytlaw-Gray's method is
Options
- Apreventing the corrosion of electrolytic cell
- Bpreventing the mixing of H ₂ and F ₂
- Cas anode
- Das cathode
Correct answer
B. preventing the mixing of H ₂ and F ₂
Step-by-step solution
In Whytlaw-Gray's method for preparation of fluorine, the copper diaphragm is used to prevent the mixing of H ₂ and F ₂ liberated at cathode and anode respectively. Reactions in the electrolytic cell
