Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 40.0 A? Assume the copper in the electrolytic solution is present as Cu²⁺.

The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C$

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$2\times 96500=193000C$ is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

$14\times 1000g=14000g$ of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C$

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec$

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, $1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr$

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Answer from: Quest

that's just how they are

explanation:

you can't control another persons decisions, all you can do is ask that they respect yours. relationships are hard because you have to put the effort into making sure that another person feels seen, heard, and loved. as time goes on, it gets easier, you learn how to do these things without thinking. loving them becomes as easy as breathing, but every relationship will have fights, and sometimes it'll feel like you're drowning, but as long as you can talk it out and compromise, because that's truly what loving another person is, is compromise, then you'll be okay. movies and tv shows have glamorized and romanticized (pardon the pun) what a relationship would be like. real relationships aren't perfectly timed kisses in the rain, zero fights until one big one ends everything, 6 month anniversaries. real relationships are sleepy confused kisses when one person has to leave for work earlier than the other, real relationships are having small disagreements, real relationships are messy and confusing, real relationships is knowing that even if you're relationship may not last forever and this may not be the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, that you love them, and you would do anything to see them happy. so yes, relationships are difficult, but so are many other things, relationships can be amazing but also stressful, and not just romantic i'm also talking about platonic relationships (although the primary example here was romantic) sometimes is best to leave friendships behind, so remember, always do whats going to you be happy in the long run.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
