What is produced at each electrode in the electrolysis of agf(aq)?

1 answer:

8 0

AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.

Sound waves are transverse mechanical waves. True False

allochka39001 [22]

False

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium to propagate them.

A transverse wave is a wave that is propagated perpendicularly to its source.
An example is electromagnetic radiation.
A longitudinal wave is a wave that is directed parallel to their source.
Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
It has series of rarefaction and compression along its travel path.
Rarefaction are areas of sparse particles.
Compression are areas with dense particles.

Use the formation reactions below such that when added together, they match the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.

muminat

Answer:

ΔH of the reaction is -802.3kJ.

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can know ΔH of reaction by the sum of ΔH's of half-reactions.

Using the reactions:

(1) Cgraphite(s)+ 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH₁ = −74.80kJ

(2) Cgraphite(s)+ O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH₂ = −393.5k J

(3) H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH₃ = −241.80kJ

The sum of (2) - (1) produce:

CH₄(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ΔH' = -393.5kJ - (-74.80kJ) = -318.7kJ

And the sum of this reaction with 2×(3) produce:

CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) And ΔH = -318.7kJ + 2×(-241.80kJ) =

-802.3kJ

For each reaction, find the value of ΔSo. Report the value with the appropriate sign. (a) 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(l) + NO(g)

aev [14]

Answer:

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

3 NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2 HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

We can calculate the standard entropy change of a reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression:

ΔS° = ∑np.Sp° - ∑nr.Sr°

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

Si are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products

ΔS° = [2 mol × S°(HNO₃(l)) + 1 mol × S°(NO(g))] - [3 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) + 1 mol × S°(H₂O(l))]

ΔS° = [2 mol × 155.6 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 210.76 J/K.mol] - [3 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 69.91 J/k.mol]

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K
