An aqueous solution of copper sulphate is electrolysed using platinum electodes in one case and copper electrodes in another case. Will the products of electrolysis be same or different? Give reason.

Answer»

Solution :In case of platinum electrodes, the products are Cu on CATHODE and `O_(2)` gas on ANODE. This because out of `Cu^(2+) and OH^(+)` ions (produced from `H_(2)O`), `Cu^(2+)` ions have LOWER discharge potential. Out of `SO_(4)^(2-)` and `OH^(-)` ions, `OH^(-)` ions have lower discharge potential `(OH^(-)toOH+e^(-),CutoCu^(2+)+e^(-))`
In case of copper electrodes, product at cathode is the same, viz, Cu but at anode, out of the THREE possible reactions, viz., `OH^(-)toOH+e,SO_(4)^(2-)toSO_(4)+2e^-,CutoCu^(2+)+2e^(-)`
Cu is more easiliy oxidized than `OH^(-) and SO_(4)^(2-)` ions. HENCE, anode of Cu dissolves into the solution to form `Cu^(2+)` ions.

An aqueous solution of CoCl_(3).6NH_(3) is found to be a better conductor of electricity than an aqueous solution of CoCl_(3).4NH_(3) No ammonium ions are detected by addition of H_(2) SO_(4) to the solution of either of these compounds. Can you explain the difference in the conductivities of two solutions

Answer»

Solution :As no ammonium ions are detected in the SOLUTIONS of these compounds, it indicates that AMMONIA molecules are in the first coordination sphere of the metal ion in both the CASES. The compound `COCI_(3), 6NH_(3)` can therefore be formulated as `[CO(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(3)` which may give four ions per mole in solution as indicated by the CONDUCTIVITY of the solution. Since the solution of `CoCl_(3), 4NH_(3)` is less conducting than that of `CoCl_(3).6NH_(3)` it means it give less than four ions per mole in solution. It will be possible only if two of the chlorines are also present in the first coordination sphere and the compound has the formula`(Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]CI`.
