What will happen when electrolysis of dilute sodium chloride solution using copper and zinc electrode?

Usually hydrogen will evolve from the cathode and oxygen from the anode, but if zinc is the anode, it may dissolve to produce zinc ions in the solution either instead of or along with oxygen evolving.

What is copper chloride split into by electrolysis?
copper + Chlorine = copper chloride
What is produced at the positive electrode for the electrolysis of copper sulfate?
Oxygen will because the sulfate ions are stable so they will stay in the solution.
Why does the most dilute solution deposit more copper in electrolysis?
An electrolysis process is based upon movement and flow of ions. More is the solution dilute, more is the movement of ions and more is the conductance of solution. Thus, when the solution is dilute more copper ions flow to the electrode and get deposited there
When copper is purified by electrolysis which electrode do you think that the pure copper collects at?
cathode
What will happen if a saturated solution of copper chloride is cooled?
A cooled saturated solution of copper chloride will precipitate crystals of copper chloride.
What are the metal strips called that are placed in the copper compound solution during electrolysis?
electrode

What will affect the electrolysis of molten copper chloride?
temperature and potential difference of electrodes.
What can be used to split copper chloride into copper and chlorine?
A solution of copper chloride should be electrolyzed.
Why does copper reacts with sodium chloride?
Copper is corroded in a sodium chloride solution; CuCl2 is formed.
How can copper be separated from solution of copper compounds?
Usually in a school experiment, you put copper solution into glass. Then you add Positively and negatively charged sticks which are connected with each other and plugged into electricity, which makes pure copper form on the negatively charged stick.
Is dilution an acceptable way to dispose of the used copper chloride solution?

How could a sample gas be collected at the positive electrode when using electrolysis for copper?
Place an inverted test tube over the elctrode
