Covalent
bonds = sharing of electrons between two atoms of the same elements or elements
close to each other on the periodic table. Usually they are metals sometimes
non-metals. In polar bonds electrons are
shared unequally. Non polar bonds share electrons equally.
Answer:
Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Explanation:
During electrolysis, the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.
At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)
Thus the half equation is as follows:
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Answer:
Explanation:
Temperature measures the average kinetic (or motion) energy of the particles within a substance.
Answer:
151.1J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of iron = 6.21g
Initial temperature of iron = 25°C
Final temperature of iron = 79.8°C
Unknown:
Amount of heat = ?
Solution:
The amount of heat require to cause this temperature can be determined using the expression below;
H = m c (T₂ - T₁)
H is the amount of heat
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
T is the temperature
Specific heat capacity of iron 0.444J/g°C
Insert the parameters and solve;
H = 6.21 x 0.444 x (79.8 - 25)
H = 151.1J
