Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

Dovator [93]

Answer: 406 hours

Explanation:

$Q=I\times t$

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs

I = current in amperes = 39.5 A

t= time in seconds = ?

The deposition of copper at cathode is represented by:

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$96500\times 2=193000$ Coloumb of electricity deposits 1 mole of copper

i.e. 63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 Coloumb

Thus 19.0 kg or 19000 g of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 19000=57748032$ Coloumb

$57748032=39.5\times t$

$t=1461975sec=406hours$ (1hour=3600s)

Thus it will take 406 hours to plate 19.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 39.5 A

Arrange the following molecules according to the strength of their dispersion forces. Organize in order from largest to smallest

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

Therefore, more is the surface area occupied by the carbon chain more will be the dispersion forces present in it. Hence, less is the surface area occupied by a molecule less will be the dispersion forces present in it.

Hence, the given molecules are organized from largest to smallest dispersion forces as follows.

$CH_{3}CH(CH_{3})C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}(CH_{2})_{4}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}C(CH_{3})2CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH4$
