On electrolysis of dilute sulphuric acid using Platinum (Pt) electrode, the product obtained at anode will be:
Oxygen gas
H gas
SO gas
Hydrogen gas
To solve this problem, we need to understand the electrolysis of dilute sulphuric acid (HSO) using Platinum (Pt) electrodes.During electrolysis, the following reactions occur at the electrodes:• At the cathode (reduction occurs):HH(gas)• At the anode (oxidation occurs):In dilute sulphuric acid, water is oxidized instead of sulfate ions.HOO(gas)HExplanation:• The anode reaction involves the oxidation of water to produce oxygen gas.• Sulfate ions (SO) are not discharged at the anode because the oxidation of water is more favorable.Therefore, the product obtained at the anode is oxygen gas.This corresponds to Option 1: Oxygen gas.
