What would be the effect of adding 10 mL of 15 M H2SO4 rather than 15 mL of 6 M H2SO4 in the conversion of CuO to CuSO4 ? Comment on how would this would affect the conversion of CuSO4 into copper metal?
EXPERT ANSWER
In this process Cu is in +2 oxidation state on both side so reaction is not reducing niether oxidising . as we know that 15M 10 ml solution is more concentrated than 6M 15 ml solution of Sulphuric acid . as we know that The more the solution of a reactant is diluted, the slower the reaction will occur. So reaction will Increase on adding 15M 10 ml solution
