  1. A \(\mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{H}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{O}_2\)
  3. C $\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2
  4. D \(\mathrm{K}, \mathrm{SO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{O}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~K}^{-1}+\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\) Due to platinum electrodes, self ionization of water will take place. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) At cathode:…
