Electrolysis is used in the electroplating of metals. The same amount of current is passed through separate aqueous solutions of

CuSO4, Sn(SO4)2 and Cr2(SO4)3 in separate electrolytic cells for the same amount of time. State and explain which cell would deposit the greatest amount (in mol) of metal. Identify the electrode at which the metal is deposited.

Answer:

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three. The deposit will occur at the cathode

Explanation:

The valence of the elements in this case is as follows -

Cu - 2e-

Sn - 4e-

Cr - 3e-

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three

The atoms of copper metal will deposit at the cathode. At the cathode, the least number of moles of electrons needed .

Hence, more amount of copper  can be extracted out by the electrolyte

What is the color of elemental silver? Explain.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<span>An ingot of elemental silver will have a silvery-white color. In fact silver is said to be the "whitest" of all metals. If it is to be grind , the silver up into smaller and smaller particles, the silver will appear progressively grayer or darker. This is because smaller particles become less effective at reflecting light and produce more scattering</span>

A sample of Xe takes 75 seconds to effuse out of a container. An unknown gas takes 60 seconds to effuse out of the identical con
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Kr

Explanation:

Now we have to apply Graham's law of diffusion in gases

t1/t2 = √M1/M2

If t1 is the time of diffusion of Xe = 75 seconds

t2 is the time of diffusion of the unknown gas = 60 seconds

M1= molar mass of Xe=131.293

M2= molar mass of the unknown gas

Thus;

75/60 = √131.293/M2

(75/60)^2= (√131.293/M2)^2

5625/3600=131.293/M2

M2= 3600×131.293/5625

M2= 84.0

The unknown gas is krypton (Kr)
