Question

a simple electrolytic cell contains how many strips dipped in an aqueous solution of copper sulphate ​

Answer 1

Two platinum electrides are dipped in an aqueous solution of copper sulphate blue in colour.

Answer 2

A simple electrolytic cell have two copper strips dipped in aqueous solution of copper sulphate

• In an electrolytic cell exertal sources of energy are used to bring a chemical reaction

• One of the simple electrolytic cell have two copper strips dipped in aqueous solution of copper sulphate.

• When DC voltage is applied to the strips, the following reactions will take place

                   Cu⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ ———— > Cu(s)

                   Cu(s) ——— > Cu⁺² + 2e⁻

• Copper is oxidised (dissolved) at anode and reduced (deposited) at cathode

• This is one of the process followed for converting impure copper to pure copper
