Assertion: When acidified zinc sulphate solution is electrolysed between zinc electrodes, it is zinc that is deposited at the cathode and hydrogen evolution does not take place. Reason: The electrode potential of zinc is more negative than hydrogen as the overvoltage for the hydrogen as the evolution on zinc is quite large.
