Answer: from the Zn anode to the Cu cathode


Justification:


1) The reaction given is: Zn(s) + Cu₂⁺ (aq) -> Zn²⁺ (aq) +Cu(s)


2) From that, you can see the Zn(s) is losing electrons, since it is being oxidized (from 0 to 2⁺), while Cu²⁺, is gaining electrons, since it is being reduced (from 2⁺ to 0).


3) Then, you can already tell that electrons go from Zn to Cu.


4) The plate where oxidation occurs is called anode, and the plate where reduction occus is called cathode.


So you get that the electrons flow from the anode (Zn) to the cathode (Cu).


Always oxidation occurs at the anode, and reduction occurs at the cathode.

A sample of water is being heated over a flame. What happens to the water as it is heated? (2 points)
Viefleur [7K]
The answer is D, the kinetic energy of the water molecules begins to increase. When you heat up a pot of water, the water molecules begin to move very fast. Thus, stating that the kinetic energy of water molecules increase since the water molecules go from moving a little bit to moving really fast! I hope this could help!

Answer:

She will need to add 5.6 cups of water

Explanation:

Hi there!

Marta has to dilute the citric acid to 5%.

The dilution factor will be 12%/ 5% = 2.4. Then, Marta will need to dilute the citric acid 2.4 times. If she has 4 cups of the solution, she will need to add water until she completes a volume of (4 cups ·2.4) 9.6 cups to reach the desired concentration.

Then, she will need to add 9.6 - 4 cups water = 5.6 cups of water

Another way to solve this is by using the fact that the mass of citric acid in the concentrated and diluted solution is the same. Then:

mass citric acid concentrated solution = mass citric acid in dilute solution

mass of citric acid = concentration · volume

Then:

initial concentration · volume = final concentration  · volume

12% · 4 cups = 5% · volume

volume = 12% · 4 cups / 5% = 9.6 cups

The final volume of the solution at 5% will be 9.6 cups. So Marta will need 9.6 cups - 4 cups = 5.6 cups water
