If a dilute H2 SO4 solution is electrolyzed with copper electrodes, the most likely electrode reactions are 2H ^ + + 2e- = H2 (g) at the cathode and 2Cu (s) + H2O = Cu2O (s) + 2H ^ + + 2e- at the anode. If we observe the formation of 27.4 cm3 of moist hydrogen (751 barometric torrs, 23.3 ° C) at the cathode, what change in weight will there be simultaneously at the anode?

Question

If a dilute H2 SO4 solution is electrolyzed with copper electrodes, the most likely electrode reactions are 2H ^ + + 2e- = H2 (g) at the cathode and

2Cu (s) + H2O = Cu2O (s) + 2H ^ + + 2e- at the anode. If we observe the formation of 27.4 cm3 of moist hydrogen (751 barometric torrs, 23.3 ° C) at the cathode, what change in weight will there be simultaneously at the anode?


Data: Pv H2O 23.3 ° C = 22 torr.
Atomic mass: Cu (65); O (16); H (1)
