Assertion (A) At the end of electrolysis using platinum electrodes, an aqueous solution of

\mathrm{CuSO}_4

turns colourless.

Reason (R) During the electrolysis

\mathrm{CuSO}_4

changes to

\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{OH})_2

during electrolysis.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Option C (Assertion is true but Reason is false) is correct because the CuSO4 solution turns colorless due to Cu deposition at the cathode, not due to the formation of Cu(OH)2.
