Answer: a) Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-  : anode

b. 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2 : cathode

c. O^{2-}\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-:  anode

Explanation:

Electrochemical cell is a device which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consist of two electrodes, anode and cathode.

Oxidation i.e. loss of electrons , which results in an increase in oxidation number occurs over anode.

Reduction i.e. gain of electrons, which results in decrease in oxidation number occurs over cathode.

a. Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-  : oxidation :  anode

b. 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2 : reduction : cathode

c. O^{2-}\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-: oxidation : anode

Gas x would be carbon dioxide.

note/ acid + carbonate —> salt + water + carbon dioxide

the white precipitate would be calcium carbonate. CaCo₃

note/ this is a common eqn u need to remember.

X - CO₂ (carbón dioxide)
Y - CaCo₃ (calcium carbonate)

sodium carbonate is a basic salt
