 <span>This is rather a case of purification of impure copper or extraction of Cu from its alloy. You need to place the impure copper rod on the positive electrode (Anode) usualyy made of carbon rod, whereby oxidation reaction takes place: Cu (s) -------> Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- That is to say the impure cooper dissolves into solution. The copper (II) ions move to the negative electrode (cathode) usually made of pure copper rod. At the cathode, the Cu2+ ions are reduced : Cu2 (aq)+ + 2e- -----> Cu(s). That is to say the copper (II) ions are deposited as solid copper atoms onto the cu-rod electrode. In this way impure copper is deposited as pure copper onto the copper cathode</span>

A water molecule is made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms and has the same formula is H2O how was the mixture of hydrogen oxygen dif
maksim [4K]

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would not need to have a certain ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms to differ from the compound known as water.

<h3>Why is water a compound not a mixture?</h3>

A water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms bonded chemically to oxygen atoms and has the formula H₂O.

In a chemical reaction, two atoms react together chemically to form a new product which means the reactants lose their individual properties and obtain new properties of the product formed.

Hence, water is a compound as hydrogen and oxygen atoms are bonded chemically to each other.

On the other hand, if oxygen and hydrogen form a mixture which is a physical change then they retain their individual properties in the mixture. They do not need to be in a specific ratio and there are no chemical changes taking place.

Chemical change determines if a substance is a mixture or a compound.

Thus, a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is different from water if it doesn't have a certain ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms.

A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 69.0 moles of hydrogen in a sample of methyl tert-butyl ether.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>5.75 moles The formula for methyl tert-butyl ether is (CH3)3COCH3, so a single molecule has 5 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen atoms. So for every 12 moles of hydrogen, there's 1 mole of oxygen. So simply divide the number of moles of hydrogen by 12 to get the number of moles of oxygen. 69.0 / 12 = 5.75 Therefore there's 5.75 moles of oxygen in the sample.</span>

Explain how viscosity is related to the flow and attraction between atoms in a liquid.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Sample Response: Viscosity refers to a liquid’s resistance to flow. Liquids with a higher viscosity flow more slowly. In liquids that are more viscous, there is a stronger attraction between atoms.

Explanation:

it's the sample response so it's correct lol, I hope it helps.
