Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      E.m.f = 12 V,        Voltage = 10 V,        Resistance = 2 ohm

Hence, calculate the current as follows.

          I = \frac{E - V_{t}}{r_{int}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         I = \frac{E - V_{t}}{r_{int}}

           = \frac{12 - 10}{2}

           = 1 A

Atomic weight of copper is 63.54 g/mol. Therefore, equivalent weight of copper is \frac{M}{2}.

That is,          \frac{M}{2}

                = \frac{63.54 g/mol}{2}

Hence, electrochemical equivalent of copper is as follows.

                   Z = (\frac{E}{96500}) g/C

                       = (\frac{63.54 g/mol}{2 \times 96500}) g/C

                       = 3.29 \times 10^{-4} g/C

Therefore, charge delivered from the battery in half-hour is calculated as follows.

                     It = Q

                       = 1 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 60 times 60  

                       = 1800 C

So, copper deposited at the cathode in half-an-hour is as follows.

                     M = ZQ

                = 3.29 \times 10^{-4} g/C \times 1800 C

                = 0.5927 g

Thus, we can conclude that 0.5927 g of copper is deposited at the cathode in half an hour.

Why do engineers use metals in making<br> electrical wires
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Why is copper used for most electrical wiring? All metals have some amount of resistivity to electrical currents, which is why they require a power source to push the current through. The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has

When the substance dissolves the solution is not transparent true or false <br>​
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Some substances dissolve when you mix them with water. When a substance dissolves, it might look like it has disappeared, but in fact it has just mixed with the water to make a transparent (see-through) liquid called a solution.

Ulfur dioxide gas can react in the presence of oxygen and vanadium(V) oxide to form sulfur trioxide. Sulfur trioxide is the only
LenaWriter [7]

According to the illustration, the vanadium (V) oxide would be a catalyst.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

Catalysts are substances that are utilized in reactions that are not themselves consumed in reactions but only speed up the rate of the reactions.

Catalysts speed up the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reactants.

Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide. The vanadium (v) oxide is not consumed in the reaction. Thus it only serves as a catalyst.
