alleryWith Pt electrodes, how does aqueous CuSO4's blue colour change?
ABecomes darker blue
BGradually becomes paler
CChanges to deep brown
DChanges to pale green
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Gradually becomes paler
Copper ions are deposited at the cathode without replacement from the platinum anode, so the blue colour fades.
