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.

Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene
ruslelena [56]
Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.

How can the first structure become the second structurethrough resonance in just one step?
evablogger [386]

Answer: This comes to bear because of what is known as resonance effect Or mesomeric effect In chemistry.

Explanation:

The concept of resonance effect reveals about the polarity induced in a molecule by the reaction between a lone pair of electron and a pi bond. It also occurs by the interaction of 2 pi bonds in the adjacent atoms.
