JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 22nd January Morning Shift - No. 1)

Which of the following electrolyte can be used to obtain $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8$ by the process of electrolysis ?
Concentrated solution of sulphuric acid
Dilute solution of sodium sulphate.
Acidified dilute solution of sodium sulphate.
Dilute solution of sulphuric acid

Explanation

$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8$ is obtained by electrolysis of concentrated solution of sulphuric acid.

At anode :

$$ 2 \mathrm{HSO}_4^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} $$
