Cu metalization

Describe how you would prepare the following three solutions (a) 500 mL of approximately 0.20 M NaOH using solid NaOH (b) 1 L of 150.0 ppm Cu using Cu metal and (c) 2 L of 4% v/v acetic acid using concentrated glacial acetic acid.

NF3 was first prepared by Otto Ruffs group in Germany by the electrolysis of molten NH4F/HF and this process is still used commercially. An alternative is the controlled fluorination of NH3 over a Cu metal catalyst. 

To exploit the energy produced in this reaction, the half reactions are separated. The oxidation reaction is carried out at a zinc electrode (Zn Zir + 2 electrons) and the reduction reaction is carried out at a copper electrode (Cu"" + 2 electrons Cu metal). Electrons flow through a metal wire from the oxidizing electrode (anode) to the reducing electrode (cathode), creating electric current that can be harnessed, for example, to light a tungsten bulb. 

Crevices, deposits on metal surface or any geometrical configuration which results in differences in the concentration of oxygen or other cathodic depolarizers (e.g., Cu ). Metal in contact with the lower concentration—this follows from considerations of an equivalent reversible cell, although the situation is more complex in practice. 

Oxidation of Ni by Cu2+. Nickel metal reacts spontaneously with Cu2+ ions, producing Cu metal and Ni2+ ions. Copper plates out on the surface of the nickel, and the blue color of Cu2+ is replaced by the green color of NP+. 

The linear term in Cp m for metals results from the contribution to the heat capacity of the free electrons. It can become important at very low temperatures where the T3 relationship becomes very small. For example, the electronic contribution to the heat capacity of Cu metal is 1.2% at 30 K, but becomes 80% of the total at 2 K.e... 

Some infrared data on these catalytic systems also support the intermediate complex formation (123). For a heterogeneous system of Cu metal and cyclohexyl isocyanide one observes, in solution, a vcn absorption at 2180 cm , compared to 2140 cm for the free isocyanide. Absorptions at 2181 and 2192 cm for the systems with CujO and CuCl, respectively, are measured. The solutions in each case have catalytic activity. The suggestion is made that either a copper(O) complex (from Cu metal) or copper(I) isocyanide complex (from CU2O or CuCl) is the catalytic species present. 

C19-0126. Electrolytic reactions, like other chemical reactions, are not 100% efficient. In a copper purification apparatus depositing Cu from C11SO4 solution, operation for 5.0 hours at constant current of 5.8 A deposits 32 g of Cu metal. What is the efficiency ... 

Similar experiments with copper dispersed on AI2O3 did not show any unusual behavior of the Al(ls) or Cu(2p) photolines. In this case, the copper could be easily cycled between CuO under oxidative conditions, to Cu metal during reducing conditions. We observed only a slight shift (<0.4 eV) of the aluminum (Is) line upon initial heating, which was attributed to the loss of water in the alumina matrix. 

Analytical electron microscopy permits structural and chemical analyses of catalyst areas nearly 1000 times smaller than those studied by conventional bulk analysis techniques. Quantitative x-ray analyses of bismuth molybdates are shown from lOnm diameter regions to better than 5% relative accuracy for the elements 61 and Mo. Digital x-ray images show qualitative 2-dimensional distributions of elements with a lateral spatial resolution of lOnm in supported Pd catalysts and ZSM-5 zeolites. Fine structure in CuLj 2 edges from electron energy loss spectroscopy indicate d>ether the copper is in the form of Cu metal or Cu oxide. These techniques should prove to be of great utility for the analysis of active phases, promoters, and poisons.

Thermal decomposition of [Cu0Si(0 Bu)3]4 in the solid phase begins at ca. 100 °C under argon (by TGA) and results in formation of an amorphous material until roughly 600 °C, at which temperature Cu metal was detected (by PXRD) [105]. Conversely, decomposition under oxygen led initially to a material with Cu crystalhtes and small amounts of CU2O and CuO, and subsequent heating beyond 800 °C resulted in oxidation of all the copper to CuO. 

The following explanation can be provided. With Cu2+ ions there is a tendency for them to be reduced to Cu metal and precipitated on the electrode, which is reflected by a positive standard reduction potential (+ 0.34 V). For Zn metal there is a tendency for it to be oxidized to Zn2+ ions and dissolved in the electrolyte, which is reflected by a negative standard reduction potential (- 0.76 V). In fact, with Zn one could speak of a positive oxidation potential for the electrolyte versus the electrode, as was often done formerly however, some time ago it was agreed internationally that hence forward the potentials must be given for the electrode versus the electrolyte therefore, today lists of electrode potentials in handbooks etc. always refer to the standard reduction potentials (see Appendix) moreover, these now have a direct relationship with the conventional current flow directions.
