    • @ltsgobrando
      @ltsgobrando 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes and no. It does work for a lot of metals, but not all. So long as it's a non-ferrous metal like aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, titanium, rare earth metals, any precious metals, alkali metals, hell it can even used to refine nuclear fuel. There are some specific cases were it only works in the extraction part and not the deposition (like nickel, once it's in the electrolyte it has to be chemically refined out), but so long as you've got an appropriate electrolyte it should be possible. Btw there are a lot of easy electrolytes to use but most often its sulfides (copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, and silver come to mind) but that's far from an exhaustive list. The only thing that's important is that there are ions of what you want to extract present, so aqueous salt solutions are the usual go to but others, including molten salts, can be used.
      In short, its widely applicable but does need to be specific to each situation. And if I'm understanding your question correctly (that you want to purify metals in one solution sequentially) then it's possible but not optimal. You could do copper until the zinc content got too high then swapped the copper cathode for a zinc one and continue and so on, but it would be suboptimal

    • @fuseschool
      @fuseschool  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. Copper ions (+ve) can only form at the anode if there are negative anions (the sulphate ion, in this case) to balance the charge. The sulphate ions (which don't get used up) are there to stabilise the copper ions in solutions from when they are formed from the impure copper anode and deposited as copper on the pure cathode.

      Copper sulphate is a salt of a strong acid, H2SO4, and a weak base, Cu(OH)2. So in aqueous solution, the Cu2+ ions undergo hydrolysis:
      Cu(2+) + H2O --> CuOH(+) + H(+)
      The release of H+ ions by hydrolysis makes the solution distinctly acidic.

    • @fuseschool
      @fuseschool  8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The anode is positive and the cathode is negative. The copper ions in the anode are positively charged and so they are attracted to the negative cathode (via the copper sulphate electrolyte solution).
      At the negative cathode, the positive copper ions gain electrons which is called reduction. The copper is then deposited onto the cathode.
      At the positive anode, electrons are lost - which is the oxidation.
      Does this help?
