The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrolysis of a 500 mL solution of 0.5 M CuSO₄ and the effect of passing \(1.5 \times 10^{23}\) electrons through it. We will also evaluate the correctness of the given statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the Initial Conditions:** - Volume of CuSO₄ solution = 500 mL = 0.5 L - Concentration of CuSO₄ = 0.5 M - Moles of Cu²⁺ in the solution: \[ \text{Moles of Cu}^{2+} = \text{Concentration} \times \text{Volume} = 0.5 \, \text{mol/L} \times 0.5 \, \text{L} = 0.25 \, \text{mol} \] 2. **Calculate the Number of Moles of Electrons Passed:** - The number of electrons passed = \(1.5 \times 10^{23}\) - Using Avogadro's number (\(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) electrons/mole), we can find the moles of electrons: \[ \text{Moles of electrons} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 0.249 \, \text{mol} \] 3. **Determine the Amount of Copper Deposited:** - The reduction of Cu²⁺ to Cu requires 2 moles of electrons to deposit 1 mole of Cu. Therefore, the moles of Cu deposited can be calculated as: \[ \text{Moles of Cu deposited} = \frac{\text{Moles of electrons}}{2} = \frac{0.249}{2} \approx 0.1245 \, \text{mol} \] - Now, calculate the mass of Cu deposited using the molar mass of Cu (63.5 g/mol): \[ \text{Mass of Cu deposited} = 0.1245 \, \text{mol} \times 63.5 \, \text{g/mol} \approx 7.9 \, \text{g} \] 4. **Evaluate the Changes in Concentration:** - Since the volume of the solution remains unchanged and the amount of Cu²⁺ ions reduced is equal to the amount of Cu²⁺ ions oxidized (due to the copper electrodes), the concentration of Cu²⁺ ions in the solution remains the same at 0.5 M. 5. **Analyze Each Statement:** - **Statement a:** At the end of electrolysis, the concentration of the solution is 0.5 M. **(Correct)** - **Statement b:** 7.9 g of Cu is deposited on the cathode. **(Correct)** - **Statement c:** 4 g of Cu is dissolved from the anode. **(Incorrect)** - The amount of Cu dissolved from the anode is equal to the amount deposited at the cathode, which is 7.9 g. - **Statement d:** 7.9 g of Cu ions are discharged. **(Correct)** - This is the same amount that was deposited. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are **a**, **b**, and **d**.
