    A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes. The products at the cathode and anode are respectively                [IIT 1987,96]

    A)                 \[{{H}_{2}},\,\,\,{{O}_{2}}\]        

    B)                 \[{{O}_{2}},\,\,{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)                 \[{{O}_{2}},\,\,Na\]        

    D)                 \[{{O}_{2}},\,\,S{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               At cathode: \[2{{H}^{+}}+2e\to {{H}_{2}}\],                                 At anode : \[2O{{H}^{-}}\to {{H}_{2}}O+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}+2e\]
