Electrolysis is used in the electroplating of metals. The same amount of current is passed through separate aqueous solutions of CuSO4, Sn(SO4)2 and Cr2(SO4)3 in separate electrolytic cells for the same amount of time. State and explain which cell would deposit the greatest amount (in mol) of metal. Identify the electrode at which the metal is deposited.

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three. The deposit will occur at the cathode

Explanation:

The valence of the elements in this case is as follows -

Cu - 2e-

Sn - 4e-

Cr - 3e-

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three

The atoms of copper metal will deposit at the cathode. At the cathode, the least number of moles of electrons needed .

Hence, more amount of copper  can be extracted out by the electrolyte

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
