Answer to Question #185448 in General Chemistry for none

Question

Explain why the sodium sulphate solution becomes more concentrated during the electrolysis process.

As electrolysis proceeds, the solution becomes more concentrated due to the removal of H⁺(aq) and OH^–(aq) to leave behind Na⁺(aq) and S0$_{4}$ ⁻²(aq) in less and less water.
