During the electrolytic refining of silver anode mud is contains :
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
During the electrolytic refining of silver, less reactive metals like gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) settle at the anode as anode mud because they do not oxidize at the anode potential. More reactive metals like Zn and Cu would oxidize and dissolve into the electrolyte.
Therefore, anode mud primarily contains Au.
