Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Electrochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

According to Faraday's Second Law, the passage of the same quantity of electricity through an electrolyte produces chemically equivalent amounts of products at both electrodes. For CuCl2, 2 Faradays of charge produce 1 equivalent (0.5 mol) of Cu and 1 equivalent (0.5 mol) of Cl2. Thus, passing 4 Faradays will produce exactly 1 mole of Cu and 1 mole of Cl2. Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is A.
