What product is obtained by electrolysis of \(50 \%\) solution of sulfuric acid on further hydrolysis?

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{SO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electrolysis: \( 2 \mathrm{HSO}_4^- \xrightarrow{\text{electrolysis}} \mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8^{2-} + 2 \mathrm{H}^+ + 2 \mathrm{e}^- \) Product of electrolysis: \( \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8 \)
