alleryCu electrodes transfer Cu/Cu2+ only. Mass changes?
ABoth lose equal mass
BAnode gain = cathode loss
CCathode gain = anode loss
DBoth gain equal mass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Cathode gain = anode loss
Each copper atom dissolved at the anode is balanced by a copper atom deposited at the cathode.
