The product obtained at anode when \(50 \%\) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) aqueous solution is electrolysed using platinum electrodes is :

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{O}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(50 \% \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) aqueous solution can be electrolysed by using Pt electrodes as \(2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 2 \mathrm{HSO}_4^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}\) \(2 \mathrm{HSO}_4^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8+2 e^{-}\)(at anode)
