This can be done through electrolysis. Electrolysis is the separation of a substance  into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance by passing an electric current through a solution that contains ions.

In the case of copper,  we use a  copper (II) sulphate  solution which we put in a large beaker. The impure copper will be used as the positive electrode (anode) and for the negative electrode (cathode)  will be a bar of pure copper.

When the electric current is switched on, the bar of pure copper which is the cathode  increases greatly in size as copper ions leave the anode of impure copper and attach to  the cathode.  The anode becomes smaller and smaller as it loses copper ions until all that is left of it is impurities in form of a sludge beneath it.

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

        RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

           αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

       m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

        α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

       m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

        α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7

An experiment produced 0.10 g CO2, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of CO2 at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is t
Pachacha [2.7K]
The density of CO2 getting from experiment is 0.1/0.056 = 1.79 g/L. The percent error of this is (1.96 -1.79)/1.96*100%=8.67%. So the approximate percent error is 8.67%.

Matthew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would BEST describe the result
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>The question says,'Mathew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would best describe the resulsts Mathew would see if he was using a conductivity apparatus in each of the different acid concentration. The correct answer is C. This is because, acids conduct electricity, the stronger the acid, the brighter the electricity that will be produced while the weaker the acid, the weaker the electricity that will be produced. Thus, higher concentration equals tronger electricity.</span>

The polymerization of amino acids produces:
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Polymerization, in chemistry, is the chemical combination of monomeric units to form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of smaller units called monomers. Amino acids are the monomeric units of proteins i.e. A protein is made up of of many amino acids joined together.

Therefore, the chemical combination of amino acids will form a peptide bond between the carbon atom of the acid group and nitrogen atom of the amine group in the structure of the amino acids. This is done by the loss of a water molecule. The continuous repetition of this polymerization process will form a chain called polypeptide, which is the PROTEIN.
