Mass of copper : 0.165 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
5.0 A over 100 seconds
Required
Mass of copper
Solution
Faraday's law:
<em>The mass of the substance formed at each electrode is proportional to the electric current flowing in the electrolysis</em>
<em /><em />
e = Ar / valence = eqivalent weight
i = current
t = time
W = weight
CuSO₄ ----> Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
Cu ----> Cu²⁺ + 2e
e = Ar/2
= 63,5/2 = 31,75
D. 1 proton and 1 neutron
Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:
Rate = k[a]2
Given data:
rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1
initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M
reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s
To determine:
Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e.
Calculations:
The second order rate equation is:
substituting for k,t and [a] we get:
1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M
1/[a]t = 49 M-1
[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M
Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M
