What particles are in the copper sulfate?
Commercial copper sulfate is usually about 98% pure copper sulfate, and may contain traces of water. Anhydrous copper sulfate is 39.81 percent copper and 60.19 percent sulfate by mass, and in its blue, hydrous form, it is 25.47% copper, 38.47% sulfate (12.82% sulfur) and 36.06% water by mass.
What happens when electricity is passed through copper sulphate solution?
When electric current is passed through the copper sulphate solution, copper sulphate dissociates into copper and sulphate. The free copper gets drawn to the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it.
When copper sulphate solution is prepared it conduct electricity but solid copper sulphate does not why?
In its solid state, the ions of copper sulphate (ionic compound) are immobile; therefore, it cannot conduct electricity. But when it is dissolved in water, it dissociates into copper ions and sulphate ions. These dissociated ions of copper sulphate conduct electricity.
When electric current passes through copper sulphate solution copper gets deposited at the anode True or false?
Answer: On passing electricity through copper sulphate solution using copper electrodes, copper is deposited at cathode.
What happens when the electric current is passed through the conducting solution?
Answer: When an electric current passes through a conducting liquid, it gets decomposed into ions. The conducting solution has free ions available which conduct electricity. Deposits of metal may be seen on electrodes.
Is copper sulphate solution a homogeneous mixture?
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture having a uniform composition throughout the mixture. For example, mixtures of salt in water, sugar in water, copper sulphate in water, iodine in alcohol, alloy, and air have uniform compositions throughout the mixtures.
