Question:

The reactions taking place during electrolysis of aqueous solution of CuCl2 with platinum electrodes are :
A. Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
B. H+(aq) + e-\(\frac{1}{2}H_2(g)\)
C. H2O(l) + e- → \(\frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+^-OH(aq)\)
D. Cl-(aq) → \(\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)+e^-\)
E. 2-OH(aq) → H2O(l) + \(\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)+2e^-\)
