Answer:
Increasing the temperature of the copper made the final temperature increase and decreasing the temperature of the copper made the final temperature decrease. ... How does changing the initial mass of the copper affect how much heat energy it has? The more copper, the more heat energy.
Explanation:
Answer:
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
Explanation:
Answer:
The pressure law states that for a constant volume of gas in a sealed container the temperature of the gas is directly proportional to its pressure. ... This means that they have more collisions with each other and the sides of the container and hence the pressure is increased.
Answer:
Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Explanation:
During electrolysis, the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.
At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)
Thus the half equation is as follows:
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Answer:
Explanation:
The half-cell reduction potentials are
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s) E° = 0.7996 V
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s) E° = -0.447 V
To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.
The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.
The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is
