The Cu terminal of tap water is positive, meaning that Zn would be negative. This is because in tap water, copper tends to oxidize more readily than zinc.

Why does hydrogen gas liberate at Cu electrode in Zn-Cu cell?

In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.


Which is more reactive Cu or Al?

Aluminum (Al) is more reactive than copper (Cu). This is because Al has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Cu. Additionally, Al reacts more readily with oxygen and water than Cu does.

Cu2+ is a cation as are all positive ions. One way to remember is to think of the "t" in cation as a plus sign.


How many cubic feet are in a water tank if it hold 24618?

Assuming 24618 means gallons of water: There are 7.481 gallons of water per cu ft. Divide 24618 by 7.481 to find how many cubic feet of the tank are taken up by the water: 24618 ÷ 7.481 = 3290.7365 cu ft, or approx 3291 cu ft.

What is the dissociation of Cu(ClO4)2?

Cu(ClO4)2 dissociates into Cu2+ ions and 2 ClO4- ions in solution. This results in the breakdown of the copper perchlorate compound into its constituent ions when dissolved in water. The balanced equation for the dissociation of Cu(ClO4)2 is: Cu(ClO4)2 -> Cu2+ + 2 ClO4-.
