Electrochemistry — practice question

In industry, copper metal is purified using electrolysis. What happens to the masses of the electrodes, and how does the colour of the electrolyte change during this process?

  • Amass of anode decrease; mass of cathode increase; little or no change occurs
  • Bmass of anode decrease; mass of cathode increase; pale blue to blue
  • Cmass of anode increase; mass of cathode decrease; little or no change occurs
  • Dmass of anode increase; mass of cathode decrease; blue to pale blue
