Detailed Solution

A solution of sodium sulphate in water is electrolysed using inert electrodes. The products at the cathode and anode are H2​, O2​ respectively.
Hydrogen ions having lower discharge (or higher reduction) potential than sodium ions will be liberated at the cathode.
2H++2e→H2​↑
Hydroxide ions having a lower discharge potential than sulphate ions, will be liberated at anode.
4OH→2H2​O+O2​+4e
