This is true. Water is the solvent in aqueous solutions
It states the fact, which we now know, that electrons are responsible for the chemical bonding. According to this theory, valency is the number of electrons present in the outermost energy shell of the atom. This energy shell is called valency shell.
The reaction between the magnesium, Mg, and the hydrochloric acid, HCl is given in the equation below,
Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + MgCl2
The number of moles of HCl that is needed for the reaction is calculated below.
n = (0.4681 g Mg)(1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg)(2 mol HCl/1 mol Mg)
n = 0.0385 mols HCl
From the given concentration, we calculate for the required volume.
V = 0.0385 mols HCl/(0.650 mols/L)
V = 0.05926 L or 59.26 mL
<em>Answer: 59.26 mL of HCl</em>
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.
