Answer:
Impure copper rod is made anode pure
copper wire is made cathode. Solution of salt of copper is made electrolyte.
On passing electricity Cu from anode
dissolves into solution and from solution it is deposited at cathode.
Anode reaction:
Cathode reaction:
In this way electrolysis is used for
the purification of copper.
