\mathrm{MgS}{\mathrm{O}_4}

between inert electrodes.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

{\mathrm{H}_2}\left( \mathrm{g} \right)\mathrm{and}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} {\mathrm{O}_2}

(g)

Option A (

{\mathrm{H}_2}\left( \mathrm{g} \right)\mathrm{and}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} {\mathrm{O}_2}

(g)) is correct because during electrolysis of aqueous MgSO4, water is reduced at the cathode to produce H2 and oxidized at the anode to produce O2.
