Detailed Solution

During  purification of copper by electrolytic refining of blister copper:

  • Impure Cu strip (blister copper) is used as anode whereas pure Cu strip is used as cathode. Hence, the option (A) is incorrect.
  • The electrolyte used is acidified aqueous copper sulphate solution. Hence, the option (B) is correct.
  • Pure Cu transfers from anode to cathode and deposits at cathode. Hence, the option (C) is correct.
  • Impurities like Fe, Zn, Ni, Co etc. dissolve in the solution as sulphates and others like Au and Ag settle as anode-mud. Hence, the option (D) is correct.
