Question 1 Report

The metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulphate is
Answer Details
The metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulfate is iron (Fe). In a process known as electrolysis, iron acts as the cathode (negative electrode) and attracts positively charged copper ions in the solution. At the iron cathode, the copper ions gain electrons and are reduced to solid copper metal, which is deposited on the surface of the iron cathode. Therefore, iron is the metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulfate.
