Molten $CuCl_2$ is electrolysed using platinum electrodes. The reaction occurring at the anode is:

  • A
    $2 Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Cl_{2(g)} + 2 e^{-}$
  • B
    $Cl_{2(g)} + 2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 Cl^{-}$
  • C
    $Cu^{2+} + 2 e^{-} \longrightarrow Cu_{(s)}$
  • D
    $Cu_{(s)} \longrightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2 e^{-}$
