When current is passed through copper sulfate solution, copper ions (Cu2+) are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they gain electrons and deposit as solid copper metal. This process is known as electroplating and is used in industries for coating metals with a layer of copper. Meanwhile, sulfate ions (SO4^2-) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and react to form oxygen gas and leave the solution.
You can separate powdered copper sulfate and powdered copper in a solution through filtration. Copper sulfate is water-soluble and will dissolve in water, while copper metal will not dissolve and can be collected by filtering the solution. Copper can also be separated from copper sulfate by electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the solution.
Either the bulb will start glowing or the magnetic needle will show deflection
When a solution is ionic, it contains charged particles (ions) that can conduct electricity. If an electric current is passed through the solution, the ions move and allow the flow of electricity. If a light bulb is connected in the circuit and the ionic solution is conductive enough, the bulb will glow, indicating that the current is flowing through the solution.
One method to separate copper from a copper sulfate solution is through electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the solution to deposit the copper onto a cathode. Another method is to add a more reactive metal, such as iron, which will displace the copper from the solution through a displacement reaction.
When an electric current is passed through a colloidal solution, the colloidal particles may migrate towards the electrodes due to the electrical charge. This process is known as electrophoresis. Additionally, the movement of colloidal particles may cause them to coagulate or form larger aggregates.
When electric current is passed through copper sulfate solution, copper ions from the solution are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they gain electrons and get reduced to form solid copper metal. At the same time, sulfate ions are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and get oxidized to form oxygen gas. This results in the gradual deposition of copper metal on the cathode.
Salt dissociates into ions in solution, allowing for the flow of electric current since ions can carry an electric charge. In contrast, sugar does not dissociate into ions in solution, which prevents the flow of electric current as there are no charged particles present to carry the charge.
When an electric current passes through a copper chloride solution, the copper ions (Cu2+) move towards the cathode and get reduced to form solid copper metal. Meanwhile, the chloride ions (Cl-) move towards the anode and get oxidized to form chlorine gas. This process is a type of electrolysis where chemical reactions are driven by the electric current.
Ions are the particles that move when current flows through a solution. They carry electric charge as they migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode.
An electrical current can pass through a solution of dissolved ionic compounds because the compounds dissociate into ions, which allows for the movement of charged particles (ions) in the solution. These ions carry the electric charge and enable the conduction of electricity through the solution.
The bulb glows dimly when current is passed through a vinegar solution because the small number of ions in the vinegar solution move through the filament of the bulb.
