As the charges in the diagram are brought together, which statement best describes the potential energy? and why?
the potential energy increases because the charges have a greater
repulsion.
the potential energy decreases because the charges have a greater
repulsion.
the potential energy increases because the charges have a greater
attraction.
the potential energy decreases because the charges have a greater
attraction.

Iknow #2 is d. i just need to know why

There is a single path for electrons. the current decreases when additional resistors are added. the current will be the same in each resistor. these statements best describe a(n) circuit.

Achemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. the chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solution containing 0.75 grams of copper (ii) chloride. a single replacement reaction takes place. (ii) chloride. a single replacement reaction takes place. which statement explains the maximum amount of copper that the chemist can extract using this reaction? a) approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (ii) chloride acts as a limiting reactant b) approximately 1.8 grams, because copper (ii) chloride acts as a limiting reactant c) approximately 0.36 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant d) approximately 1.8 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant
