Answer:

I hope this will help

Step-by-step explanation:

Copper is purified by electrolysis . Electricity is passed through solutions containing copper compounds, such as copper(II) sulfate. The anode (positive electrode ) is made from impure copper and the cathode (negative electrode) is made from pure copper.
