Answer:

A. Cu^+2(aq)cathode ---> Cu^+2(aq)anode

Explanation:

Electrolysis is the process in which current is passed through a solution thereby causing a chemical change at the anode and cathode. Copper is being purified using electrolysis by using impure copper at the anode and pure copper at the cathode. This pure and impure copper are placed in a copper(ii)sulfate electrolyte solution and dc current is made to pass through it.  The resulting changes at the anode and cathode are given by the equation:

cathode: Cu²⁺  + 2e⁻    ⇒     Cu

anode:    Cu     ⇒       Cu²⁺  + 2e⁻

The molar solubility of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 was experimentally determined to be 0.019 M. Based on this value, what is th
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:

  Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                          0                0

C                       + s               + 2s

E                        s                   2s

According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³

Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):

s = 0.019 M

⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Calculate the oxidation state of the underlined elements of K2 Cr2 O7
Semenov [28]

Answer:

+4

Explanation:

In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):

Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.

⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0

x = +4

So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

I hope this helps.

ICI has a higher boiling point then Br. What is the best explanation for this?
Ahat [919]
Br2 experiences dipole-dipole interactions. ICl experiences dipole-dipole interactions. Br2 forms hydrogen bonds. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions.
