Q15 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

Copper is purified by electrolytic refining of blister copper. The correct statement(s) about this process is (are)

  • A
    Impure Cu strip is used as cathode
  • Correct answer
    B
    Acidified aqueous CuSO4 is used as electrolyte
  • Correct answer
    C
    Pure Cu deposits at cathode
  • Correct answer
    D
    Impurities settle as anode-mud.

Solution

Impure Cu is used as anode pure Cu deposited at cathode. Electrolyte is acidified solution of CuSO4 impurities settle as anode mud.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'B', 'C', 'D'.
