The product obtained at anode when 50 % H ₂ SO ₄ aqueous solution is electrolysed using platinum electrodes is :
Options
- AH ₂ SO ₃
- BH ₂ ~S ₂ O ₈
- CO ₂
- DH ₂
Correct answer
B. H ₂ ~S ₂ O ₈
Step-by-step solution
50 % H ₂ SO ₄ aqueous solution can be electrolysed by using Pt electrodes as 2 H ₂ SO ₄ 2 HSO ₄⁻+2 H ⁺2 HSO ₄⁻ H ₂ ~S ₂ O ₈+2 e⁻ (at anode)
