Which battery terminal should be connected to the anode and what reaction will occur at the anode?
A) The negative terminal of the battery. Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
B) The positive terminal of the battery. Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
C) The negative terminal of the battery. Cu(s) → Cu2+(aq) + 2e-
D) The positive terminal of the battery. Cu(s) → Cu2+(aq) + 2e-
E) The negative terminal of the battery where the brass will be oxidized.
F) The positive terminal of the battery where the brass will be oxidized.

Respuesta :

The positive terminal of the battery should be connected to the anode .and Cu(s) → [tex]Cu^{+2} (aq)[/tex] + [tex]2e^{-}[/tex]  reaction will occur at the anode.

In electrolysis, the two wires or plates dipping into the electrolytic solution is called electrodes.

The battery is galvanic cell which produce electric current. An electrode connected to positive terminal of the battery is called anode. At anode, oxidation ( loss of electrons)  is takes place.

Cu(s) → [tex]Cu^{+2} (aq)[/tex] + [tex]2e^{-}[/tex]  

An electrode connected to negative terminal of the battery is called cathode. At cathode, reduction ( gain of electrons)  is takes place.

[tex]Zn^{+2} + 2e^{-}[/tex] → [tex]Zn(s)[/tex]
