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⁻

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction is exothermic . So ΔH is negative .

Gas is evolving so work done by gas is positive or w is positive.

Change in internal energy that is ΔU is negative.

q = u - w

u is negative , w is positive so q is negative .

What is the volume in liters of hydrogen gas that would be produced by the reaction of 40.0 g of Al with excess HCl at STP accor

DaniilM [7]

The volume in liters of Hydrogen gas = 49.28 L

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The reaction equation is the chemical formula of reagents and product substances

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products

Reaction

2 Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq) → 2 AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂ (g)

mol Al :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{Ar}=\dfrac{40}{27}=1.481$

mol H₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1.481=2.2$

At STP, 1 mol =22.4 L

so the volume of hydrogen :

$\tt 2.2 \times 22.4=49.28~L$

Answer:

0.17325 moles per liter per second

Explanation:

For a first order reaction;

in[A] = in[A]o - kt

Where;

[A]= concentration at time t

[A]o = initial concentration

k= rate constant

t= time taken

ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k

2k = ln1 - ln0.5

k= ln1 - ln0.5/2

k= 0 -(0.693)/2

k= 0.693/2

k= 0.3465 s-1

Rate of reaction = k[A]

Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L

Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second
