    Which one of the following statements is true for a electrochemical cell?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}\] is cathode and \[Cu\] is anode

    B)  Oxidation occurs at \[Cu\] electrode

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}\] is anode and \[Cu\] is cathode

    D)  reduction occurs at \[{{H}_{2}}\] electrode

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that oxidation (loss of electrons) takes place at anode and reduction (gain of electron) takes place at cathode. Therefore, \[{{H}_{2}}\] is anode and \[Cu\] is cathode.
