After an hour of electrolysis, the solution is tested. The concentration of copper(II) ions has decreased, while the concentration of hydrogen ions has increased. The mass of one electrode has also increased. Explain these observations using the half-reaction equation for each electrode.arrow_forwardPredicting whether simple electrochemical reactions happen Decide whether a chemical reaction happens in either of the following situations.
