The correct answer is:
Reduction potential of Cu2+ is higher than H+ hence Cu2+ will be reduced at cathode more easily.
Reaction at the cathode:
Reaction at the Anode:
According to Faraday's first law
When 63.54 grams of copper deposited 11.2 litres of oxygen gas is released at anode.
Hence, for 1.27 grams of copper 0.224 Litres of oxygen gas is released.
