What would occur in the electrolytic reduction of Cu^(2+) ?
"a. the cathode would decrease in mass, and the anode would increase in mass."
"b. the colour of the solution would dissipate."
"c. the blue colour of the solution would slowly dissipate, and the cathode would acquire a salmon pink coating."
"d. copper salts do not undergo electrolytic reaction, and there would be no macroscopic change."

1 Answer
Explanation:
The
In this experiment,
As the experiment progresses, the concentration of the solution decreases, and accordingly the colour of the solution fades. Meanwhile the cathode acquires a thin plating of copper metal.
