On electrolysis of dil. sulphuric acid using Platinum \((Pt)\) electrode, the product obtained at anode will be:

A \(SO _{2}\) gas
B Hydrogen gas
C Oxygen gas
D \(H _{2} S\) gas

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Oxygen gas

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(H _{2} SO _{4}\) At Anode : \(2 H _{2} O \rightarrow O _{2( g )}+4 H _{( aq )}^{+}+4 e ^{-}\)

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Given below are two statements\(:\) Statement \(I:\) Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element (IdI) of a current carrying conductor only. Statement \(II :\) Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge \(q\), with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, Idl while the latter being produced by a vector source, \(q\). In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
