Question

Q2 Copper is being deposited from a solution that is 1 M CuSO, and 2 M H.SO, onto a planar electrode. Sketch the profile of each ionic component near the electrode. Determine the direction of the flux due to migration and diffusion for each species. Note that the net flux at the electrode must be zero for non-reacting species. Also, electro-neutrality must be maintained in the diffusion layer.

Answer 1

Above figure shows the whole process , copper metal gets deposited at cathode. Whereas hydrogen ions from anode compartment gets diffused to cathode compartment through diaphragm layer to maintain solution neutrality.
