Predict the products of electrolysis in each of the following:
$i$. An aqueous solution of $AgNO_3$ with silver electrodes
$ii$. An aqueous solution of $AgNO_3$ with platinum electrodes
$iii$. $A$ dilute solution of $H_2SO_4$ with platinum electrodes
$iv$. An aqueous solution of $CuCl_2$ with platinum electrodes.

$i$. At the cathode,$Ag^+$ ions are reduced to $Ag_{(s)}$. At the anode,$Ag$ electrode is oxidized to $Ag^+_{(aq)}$.
$ii$. At the cathode,$Ag^+$ ions are reduced to $Ag_{(s)}$. At the anode,$H_2O$ is oxidized to $O_{2_{(g)}}$.
$iii$. At the cathode,$H^+$ ions are reduced to $H_{2_{(g)}}$. At the anode,$H_2O$ is oxidized to $O_{2_{(g)}}$.
$iv$. At the cathode,$Cu^{2+}$ ions are reduced to $Cu_{(s)}$. At the anode,$Cl^-$ ions are oxidized to $Cl_{2_{(g)}}$.

During the electrolysis of $NaCl$ solution,$H_2$ gas is liberated at the cathode when a $Pt$ electrode is used,whereas sodium amalgam is formed when a $Hg$ cathode is used. What is the reason for this?

Assertion : On increasing dilution,the specific conductance keeps on increasing.
Reason : On increasing dilution,the degree of ionisation of a weak electrolyte increases and the number of ions per unit volume decreases.
