Can any person help me for this problem? Anyone's welcome
1 answer:
Answer:
The anode made of the impure copper
The cathode made of pure copper
The electrolyte of copper (II) sulfate CuSO₄ solution
The silver impurities at the anode due to their high tendency of accepting electrons and being a stronger reducing agent than either copper or zinc will remain relatively in place and relatively stable and will not actively take part in the oxidation reaction taking place at the anode
The zinc impurities will be the first element of the three metals to give up electrons and go into the solution as zinc ions due to their high tendency to loan out two electrons and become oxidized into Zn²⁺ ions
