So how is it electroplating when there is no battery :|Listen everyone! each nd every one of u is wrong! u knw why? the electrode which is supposed to be oxidised is A NOT B! the examiner never asked oxidation in terms of electrons! the experiment which was going on was actually electroplating! in electroplating object which gets electroplated is always at anode (+) electrode and the object which is decresed in size is supposed to be cathode! were u all sleeping or something? nd electroplating always takes place in a cell! soo ppl who wrote oxidation will take place at + electrode are rite!
It is a cell but this type made of the same metals
The cathode is always where reduction takes place,in cell cathode is the + electrode
The anode is -ve electrode,loses electrons dissolve in the solution as ions and electrons
Move along the wire to A.The mass of A reamins constant since the Iron atoms reacting with oxygen are compensated by electrons receiving
So,how about dividing your equation by 2:|I think it shud be 2Ag- + 2Cl- ---> 2AgCl
For the organic isomers wht did you get?I wrote 1 chlorobutane and 2 chlorobutane
