Electrolysis of dilute sulpuric acid

在Electrolysis of dilute sulpuric acid, 為何在cathode出的物質是Hydrogen?SO4(2-)的oxdizing power不是比H+更強嗎?
不是應該出SO2(aq) or SO3 (2-)(aq)嗎?

其實照ECS黎睇, SULPHURIC ACID的確係STRONGER OXIDIZING AGENT THAN H+
但邊個係PREFERENTIALLY DISCHARGED要睇埋CONCENTRATION
因為佢地係ECS其實係好近
要睇埋CONCENTRATION
由於係DILUTE
SO SULPHATE ION O既 CONC.低過H+好多
SO H+ DISCHARGE做HYDROGEN GAS
如果用CONCENTRATED SULPHURIC ACID INSTEAD OF DILUTE
咁就會出SO2

希望係你想知O既野LA

Cathode is the place for reduction.
SO4(2-)is reducing agent,so it may be oxidized.
However, H+ is an oxidizing agent. It may be reduced.
So we cannot compare SO4(2-)with H+ because one of them is reducing agent while the other one is oxidizing agent.

In the electrolysis of H2SO4.
AT anode (positively charged), OH- is preferentially discharged
4OH--->O2+4e-+2H2O
AT cathode (negatively charged), H+ is preferentially discharged
2H+ +2e--->H2
