Because sulphate ions move towards anode (copper) the copper of anode donates 2 electrons to external circuit and becomes +2 ions and moves to the solution so copper anode continuously dissolves in solution.

∙ 12y agocopper is a metal that is a good conductor of electricity and can easily produce free ions when set up with an electrolyte. this ensure the production of current. therefore it is used as an electrode

∙ 11y agobecause it is nothing
A copper sulfate solution contains both positively charged copper ions and negatively charged sulfate ions, and both of these ions respond to an electric current because of their own electric charges, and can act as conductors.

Will a strawberry power a clock?
sure, a strawberry can power a clock, if you use as your electrodes, magnesium and copper. Then again so can plain water, lots of videos on youtube showing it, or how to do it even.
What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.
Can you give me physics investigatory project using electricity can i have the answer now or as soon as possible pleasei really need it...?
You can conduct a physics investigatory project on potatoes being used as a form of electricity. In addition, the effect of using potatoes as a source of electricity on the environment can be observed. Copper and zinc electrodes enable the juice of the potato to generate electricity.
Which two metals are used in a bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip usually consists of steel and copper. In some cases brass is used instead of copper.
Why is copper used for solar energy?
electrical wire
What are inert and active electrodes?
Inert electrodes simply serve as electrical conductors and are unchanged by the cell processes. Active electrodes change during the cell reactions. An example of inert electrodes is platinum in the electrolysis of water. The platinum remains unchanged and the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. An example of active electrodes is in the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution with copper electrodes. The anode copper is converted into copper ions in the solution, and metallic copper builds up on the cathode. The term active electrode is also used in eeg measurement, here as the opposite to passive electrode. Electrodes are the pads attached to the skin to get readings, and active ones don't need a conductive paste to get a good signal.
How do you use electrode in a sentence?
Inez used a zinc nail and copper penny as electrodes in her science project.
What element is found in electrodes?
Various elements are used for making electrodes like copper, zinc, aluminium, chlorine, mercury, platinum etc. Elements for making electrodes are selected on the basis on their relative tendencies to gain and loose electrons.
What process is used to separate copper chloride?
i am not entirely sure what this process is called, but i do know how you do it! you put in two electrodes with a solution of it into a beaker, make sure the electrodes are not touching, then send a current through them and the chlorine will bubble around one of the electrodes and the copper will be wrapped around the other, this is because of the charges in the copper and the chlorine, i can't remember which one is negatively charged and which is postively charged.
What is the name of the process that uses electrodes to purify copper?
Electrolysis
What is the value of the cell potential for a cell in which the electrodes are copper and sodium?
3.05
What gets reduced in an electrolytic cell with nickel and copper electrodes?
Ni2+
What will affect the electrolysis of molten copper chloride?
temperature and potential difference of electrodes.
Does a cell with copper and zinc electrodes in an acid electrolyte produce voltages?
yes
What is the voltage of an electrolytic cell with nickel and copper electrodes?
-0.59 V
What gets oxidized in electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?
Cu(s)
Why is not used in three electrodes in batteries?
it will be useless to use 3 electrodes. IT IS WASTE OF MONEY.Two , three or four electrodes can be used but it only increases the rate of reaction.
