A direct-current power supply of low voltage (less than 10 volts) has lost the markings that indicate which output terminal is positive and which is negative. A chemist suggests that the power supply terminals be connected to a pair of platinum electrodes that dip into 0.1-molar KI solution. Which of the following correctly identifies the polarities of the power supply terminals?
(A) A gas will be evolved only at the positive electrode.
(B) A gas will be evolved only at the negative electrode.
(C) A brown color will appear in the solution near the negative electrode.
(D) A metal will be deposited on the positive electrode.
(E) None of the methods above will identify the polarities of the power supply terminals.
