Answer:
In the electrolysis of dilute sulfuric acid, which electrolysis in aqueous solution to form hydrogen ions, H⁺, and sulfur IV ions SO₄²⁻ in the presence of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the water molecules
At the anode
The anode, positive electrode, attracts the negative OH⁻ and SO₄²⁻ ions where the OH⁻ gives up electrons to form water molecules and oxygen as follows;
4OH⁻ → 2H₂O + O₂ + 4e⁻
At the cathode
The positive H⁺ ions from the water molecules and the acid are attracted to the cathode where they combine with 2 electrons to form hydrogen gas as follows;
2e⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂ (gas)

Answer:
Argon has 8 valence electrons making it non reactive.
Explanation:
Reactive chemicals are store in containers filled with Argon gas because the argon gas is non reactive. This is true because the argon gas has completely filled octet structure.
This can further be explained by writing the electronic configuration of argon.
The electronic configuration of argon is given below:
Ar (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
Valence electron => 3s²3p⁶ = 2 + 6 = 8
From the above illustration, we can see that the outermost shell (i.e 3s²3p⁶) is having 8 electrons indicating that it is completely filled as the maximum number of electrons any shell can accommodate outside the first shell is 8 electrons. Thus, argon has 8 valence electrons ( i.e electrons in the outermost shell) and hence it is non reactive as the outermost shell is completely filled.
