For the purification of copper, impure copper is made the:
Correct answer: C. Anode
- A. Cathode
- B. Solution
- C. Anode
- D. Both A & B
Explanation
Electrolytic cell is used for the purification of copper. Impure copper is made the anode and thin sheet of pure copper is made the cathode and copper sulphate solution is used as an electrolyte.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
