in electrolysis of Cr2(so4)3 solution using 2 ampere the mass of cathode increased 8g.how long was electrolysis conducted

here i think Cr shud not be discharged and H+ shud be discharged!!!!!!!!!
am i right????

but if it is so,how mass of cathode will increase

as the reduction potentials are Cr3+=-0.73 and H+=0
i think the one with higher reduction potential is reduced.

so , i think u r right, H+ is reduced at the cathode, but i'm not sure

dunno..
but may be,..
cuz of this...cathode increases..

i think its an example of chrome plating.so chromium ion shud gets deposited at the cathode.

i think CrO3 shud be the main constituent in the chromium sulphate solution other than chromium sulphate.
