The reaction Cu 2 + aq + 2 Cl − aq → Cu s + Cl 2 g has E c e l l o = - 1.03 V. This reaction

Options

  1. ACan be made to produce electricity in voltaic cell
  2. BCan be made to occur in an electrolytic cell
  3. CCan occur in acidic medium only
  4. DCan occur in basic medium only

Correct answer

B. Can be made to occur in an electrolytic cell

Step-by-step solution

C u 2 + + 2 C l - → C u + C l 2 ; E c e l l o < 0 Reactions which have E c e l l o < 0 (non-spontaneous) can be made to occur in a electrolytic cell.
