The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrolysis of a 1M CuSO₄ solution using a platinum cathode and a copper anode. We will determine the concentration of Cu²⁺ ions after passing 2 Faraday of electricity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions:** - We have 1 liter of 1M CuSO₄ solution. - This means we initially have 1 mole of Cu²⁺ ions in the solution. 2. **Understand the Electrolysis Process:** - During electrolysis, Cu²⁺ ions are reduced at the cathode to form copper metal (Cu) according to the half-reaction: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu (s)} \] - At the anode, copper metal (Cu) is oxidized to Cu²⁺ ions, but since we are using a copper anode, the copper will dissolve into the solution, maintaining the Cu²⁺ concentration. 3. **Calculate the Amount of Copper Deposited:** - The amount of electricity passed is 2 Faraday (F). - 1 Faraday corresponds to the charge required to deposit 1 mole of Cu from Cu²⁺ ions. - Therefore, 2 Faraday will deposit 1 mole of Cu: \[ 2F \rightarrow 1 \text{ mole of Cu} \] 4. **Determine the Change in Cu²⁺ Concentration:** - Initially, we have 1 mole of Cu²⁺ ions. - Since 1 mole of Cu²⁺ ions is reduced to form 1 mole of Cu, and the copper anode will dissolve an equivalent amount of copper back into the solution, the net change in Cu²⁺ concentration is as follows: - 1 mole of Cu²⁺ is consumed (reduced to Cu). - 1 mole of Cu is produced from the anode (oxidized back to Cu²⁺). - Therefore, after passing 2 Faraday, the concentration of Cu²⁺ ions will be: \[ \text{Final moles of Cu}^{2+} = 1 \text{ mole (initial)} - 1 \text{ mole (deposited)} + 1 \text{ mole (dissolved)} = 1 \text{ mole} \] 5. **Calculate the Final Concentration of Cu²⁺:** - Since the volume of the solution remains 1 liter, the final molarity of Cu²⁺ ions is: \[ \text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume in liters}} = \frac{1 \text{ mole}}{1 \text{ L}} = 1M \] ### Final Answer: The concentration of Cu²⁺ ions after passing 2 Faraday of electricity will be **1M**.
