Question

When an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of the following, the concentrations of cation as well as anion will not change for (assume constant volume of the electrolytic solution)

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Electrolysis of an aqueous KNO3 solution strictly involves the reduction of water to H2 at the cathode and the oxidation of water to O2 at the anode. The K^+ and NO3^- ions serve purely as spectator ions to carry the current. Assuming the volume is artificially kept constant, their concentrations will not change. Therefore, correct answer is B.
