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

ectrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 15.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 34.5 A ? Assume the copper in the electrolytic solution is present as Cu 2 + .

Answer:

91hours

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the quantity of electricity passed.

Q = It

Q = 34.5t

Since we are dealing with cu2+

Cu2+ + 2e- ———> Cu

From the second law of electrolysis, 1 mole of copper ion will need 2 moles of electrons and thus would be needing half faraday of electricity.

Now one faraday would contain 96500C of electricity, 0.5F would contain = 48,250C of electricity .

The number of moles of copper thus deposited = 34.5t/48,250

We know that the mass of copper deposited equals no of moles of copper multiplied by its atomic mass

15kg = 34.5t/48250 * 64

15,000 * 48250 = 34.5t * 64

t = 327,785s

Converting this to hours means we divide by 3,600

327,785/3600 = 91hours

How do you tell if an element is a solid, liquid or gas (ex. Na2S)
svetoff [14.1K]
Solids have a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume, but have no definite shape.
Gas have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

A buffer is composed of nh3 and nh4cl. How would this buffer solution control the ph of a solution when a small amount of a stro
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)

So, OH^{-} is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of OH^{-} increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of OH^{-} combines with NH_{4}^{+} to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.

If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters, and a temperature of 200 K and then I raise the pressu
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 29.6 l

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 12 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 23 l

Temperature 1 = T1 = 200 °K

Pressure 2 = 14 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = =

Temperature 2 = T2 = 300°K

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Combine gas law.

             P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

-Solve for V2

             V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

2.- Substitution

             V2 = (12)(23)(300) / (200)(14)

3.- Simplification

             V2 = 82800 / 2800

4.- Result

            V2 = 29.6 l
