in electrolysis of aq. cucl2 Cu2+ gets reduced first at cathode because it has more reduction potential than H+ .will H+ be later reduced or only Cu2+ that was reduced earlier will be the prooduct. and please explain the same for anion’

In case of anion the reduction will not take place at cathode but at anode. For anions the electrons will be deposited on the anode by the anion.These electrons will travel to the cathode where reduction of cations will take place.
