Problem

Identify the products when a concentrated aqueous solution of copper(II) chloride is electrolysed using inert electrodes. (1) Negative electrode (cathode): O2(g)\text{O}_2(\text{g}); positive electrode (anode): Cl2(g)\text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) (2) Negative electrode (cathode): Cu(s)\text{Cu}(\text{s}); positive electrode (anode): O2(g)\text{O}_2(\text{g}) (3) Negative electrode (cathode): Cu(s)\text{Cu}(\text{s}); positive electrode (anode): Cl2(g)\text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) (4) Negative electrode (cathode): H2(g)\text{H}_2(\text{g}); positive electrode (anode): O2(g)\text{O}_2(\text{g})
