Question
Chemistry Question on Occurrence Of Metals
Given below are two statements.
Statement-I: During electrolytic refining, blister copper deposits precious metals.
Statement-II: In the process of obtaining pure copper by electrolysis method, copper blister is used to make the anode.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.**.
Statement-I is true but Statement II is false.**.
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
Solution
The correct option is(a): Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
Copper is refined using an electrolytic method. Anodes are of impure copper and pure copper strips are taken as cathode
Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold and platinum.
Hence both statements are true
