The cathode is so named because it provides available free electrons, to which any cation such as zinc is attracted. When a zinc ion accepts an electron, it becomes a zinc atom and usually remains attached to the cathode, which therefore becomes plated with zinc. Since metallic zinc is itself electrically conductive, the process can continue until the supply of zinc cations from the solution is exhausted, so long as sufficient electrical energy is supplied.

Is zinc nitrate a salt?
yes zinc nitrate is a salt
What chemical grade is zinc nitrate?
Zinc nitrate purity is defined in catalogs.
Calcium nitrate plus water zinc sulfate?
zinc nitrate + sodium hydroxide yields sodium nitrate and zinc hydroxide( white precipitate)
Is zinc nitrate soluble or insoluble?
Zinc nitrate is very soluble in water.
What is seen at the anode when a solution of copper chloride is electrolysed?
In MOLTEN zinc chloride, At the cathode: Zn2+ + 2e- --> Zn(s) At the anode: 2Cl- --> Cl2(g) + 2e- In CONCENTRATED aqueous zinc chloride solution, At the cathode: 2H+ + 2e- --> H2(g) At the anode: 2Cl- --> Cl2(g) + 2e- (Zinc is not formed as it's Enaught value is very negative. Chlorine is still formed though.) In dilute (less than 5%) squeous zinc chloride solution, At the cathode: 2H+ + 2e- --> H2(g) At the anode: 2O2- --> O2(g) + 4e-
Zinc reacts with silver nitrate gives zinc nitrate and silver?
Yes: intern electrolysis, nitrate is tribune-ion, (Zn)s + 2(Ag+)aq --> (Zn2+)aq + 2(Ag)s
Zinc metal is added to a solution of silver nitrate?
Zinc nitrate and silver are formed. Silver gets precipitated.
An electrolytic cell is made with zinc and aluminum electrodes Which of the following happen at the cathode of this cell?
Aluminum is reduced. Zinc ions are formed.
What happens when copper metal is put in zinc nitrate solution?
due to the transfer of electron the zinc nitrate forms to zinc, and copper is formed to copper nitrate. this is usually followed by half equations which are: Cu -> Cu ^2+ + 2e zn^2+ + 2e -> zn where e is electrons and 2+ is representative of the nitrate
What will be the observations when Zinc nitrate solution is added to Lead nitrate solution?
When zinc nitrate solution is added to lead nitrate solution you willÊapparently observe a black solid being formed. All of the research yielded facts from adding solid metal to either zinc or lead.
Does electrolysis occur between aluminum and galvanised iron?
Yes, Aluminum is more electrically active than both zinc and iron. It will become the cathode in the electrochemical reaction.
Is zinc nitrate a salt?
yes zinc nitrate is a salt
What is the molecular formula of zinc nitrate?
Chemical formula of the zinc nitrate: Zn(NO3)2
Why is aluminum and zinc nitrate considered not a reaction?
since a thick insoluble precipitateof Al nitrate is formed on the Al sample, it doesn't work further.....
What is the chemical name Zn(NO3)2?
For clarity, zinc (II) nitrate would be the preferred name. However, if you just said "zinc nitrate", most chemists would guess you meant that formula; the +1 oxidation state is technically possible for zinc, but zinc (I) compounds are relatively rare.
Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?
Yes zinc will react to form zinc nitrate and silver.
What chemical grade is zinc nitrate?
Zinc nitrate purity is defined in catalogs.
