A high school girl was getting ready for a big date but discovered with horror that her silver necklace was tarnished. having ju

st studied about redox reactions and electrochemical cells in chemistry class, she grabbed some aluminum foil, put it in a dish, and placed her necklace on top of the foil. then she added some baking soda, a little salt, and hot water. within a few minutes, her necklace was bright and shiny again.
the formula for silver tarnish is ag2s. use the balanced equation to answer the following questions:
3ag2s + 2al(s) al2s3 + 6ag(s)

a. what makes this an oxidation-reduction reaction? (1 point)
b. write the half-reactions showing the oxidation and reduction reactions. identify which is the oxidation reaction and which is the reduction reaction. (3 points)
c. what is oxidized in the reaction? what is reduced? (2 points)
d. in this simple electrochemical cell, what functions as the anode? what is the cathode? (3 points)
e. is this a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell? explain your answer. (2 points)
f. what would the overall potential for this cell be? (4 points)

Answer:

a. What makes this an oxidation-reduction reaction? (1 point)

Loss of electron by the aluminum and the gain of electron by the silver

b. Write the half-reactions showing the oxidation and reduction reactions. Identify which is the oxidation reaction and which is the reduction reaction. (3 points)

oxidation half reaction: Al → Al3+ + 3e-

Reduction half reaction: Ag+ + e- → Ag

c. What is oxidized in the reaction? What is reduced? (2 points)

Aluminum is oxidized and silver is reduced

d. In this simple electrochemical cell, what functions as the anode? What is the cathode? (3 points)

In a simple electrochemical cell the electrode where oxidation takes place is the anode. And the electrode where reduction reaction happens is the cathode.

e. Is this a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell? Explain your answer. (2 points)

An electrolytic cell because the reaction converts electrical energy into chemical energy

Not sure about e and f!

The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.

Explanation:

Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.

Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus

<u>Example:</u>C_{6} ^{12};here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass

<u><em>No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons</em></u>

Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons

<u>Example:</u>If we consider a carbon atom;as its <em>e</em><em>lectronic configuration is2,4 and</em>  it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is <u>4.</u>

What is the reaction which a metal element displaces the metal atom of a compound?
Marina86 [1]

A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

Draw one of the stereoisomers of the product formed when benzaldehyde (c6h5cho) is treated with ph3p═chcooch3.
8_murik_8 [283]
This reaction is known as Wittig Reaction. A powerful reaction for the synthesis of Alkene. In question the starting materials are aldehyde and a Phosphorous Ylide. Ylide when reacted with aldehyde produces a four membered ring which on rearrangement gives Alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Phosphorous having great affinity toward the oxygen is the driving force of this rearrangement. The reaction along with product (highlighted blue) is as follow,
