Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.
In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).
Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
Mg₃N₂ + 6H₂O = 3Mg(OH)₂ + 2NH₃
Answer:
1.8 × 10² s
Explanation:
Let's consider the reduction that occurs upon the electroplating of copper.
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu(s)
We will establish the following relationships:
- 1 g = 1,000 mg
- The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
- When 1 mole of Cu is deposited, 2 moles of electrons circulate.
- The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,486 C (Faraday's constant).
- 1 A = 1 C/s
The time that it would take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A is:
