Following reactions occur at cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous copper (II) chloride solution:Cu2+(aq) + 2 e-2 ———–> Cu(s) E° = + 0.34 VH+(aq) + e-1 ————-> 1/2H2(g) E...
SinceECu2+/CuECu2+/Cuhas a greater positive value thanEH+/HEH+/H, the reaction that is feasible at the cathode is
Cu2+(aq)+2eCu(s)
