Consider the reaction of NH3 and I2 to give N2 and HI.

The two oxygen atoms forming molecules of oxygen gas that you breath are joined by a polar covalent bond. Explain why this state

mylen [45]

It’s false. Anything that is bonded to itself is instantly a non-polar molecule as they both share the same electronegativity.

Use the half-reaction method to balance the following equation in acidic solution. It is not necessary to include any phases of

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2H⁺ + 2MnO4⁻ + 3CN⁻ → 2MnO₂ + H₂O + 3CNO⁻

Explanation:

CN⁻ + MnO4⁻ → CNO⁻ + MnO₂

In right side permangante, with Mn element has +7 as oxidation number.

In the MnO₂, Mn acts with +4.

This is the half reaction of reduction, where the Mn has gained 3 electrons.

in right side, cianide with C element has +2 as oxidation number. In the anion cianate, C acts with +4.

The oxidation number has increased in this half reaction. It's oxidation where the C, has lost 2 elecontrons

( 4H⁺ + MnO4⁻ + 3e⁻ → MnO₂ + 2H₂O ) .2

(H₂O + CN⁻ → CNO⁻ + 2e⁻ + 2H⁺) .3

I have to add water, to ballance the amount of oxygens and protons to ballance H, in the opposite side

To ballance the half reactions, I have to multiply x2 (reduction) and x3 (oxidation) so I can cancel, the electrons.

2H⁺ + 2MnO4⁻ + 3CN⁻ → 2MnO₂ + H₂O + 3CNO⁻

The electrons are now cancelled, and I can also modify water. In reactant side I have 3H₂O and in product side, I have 4H₂O so, H₂O in right side is gone so I finally obtained 1 H₂O on left. I had 8H⁺ on right, and 6H⁺ on left, so finally I obtained 2H⁺ on right, and the protons of product side are gone.

Metal rings can be coated with a layer of copper using electricity.

<u>First of all, what is electrolysis?</u>

Electrolysis is the process of breaking down ionic substances using direct current.

<u>Important points about electrolysis </u>

→ Ionic substances contain particles called ions.

→ Electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. For electrolysis to work, the compound must contain ions. The ions must be free to move for electrolysis to occur and it can happen by melting or dissolving an ionic substance in water.

→ Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode. They receive electrons and are <em>reduced</em>. The positive ions move towards the negative electrode because they want to cancel each other out.

→ Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode. They lose electrons and are <em>oxidised</em>. The substance that is broken down is called the electrolyte <em>(an electrolyte is just a liquid or solution that can conduct electricity)</em> . The negative ions move towards the positive electrode because they want to cancel each other out.

<h3>Cathode = Negative electrode</h3><h3>Anode = Positive electrode</h3>

Metal ions form at the cathode and non-metal ions form at the anode

How I remember if an element is <em>oxidised</em> or <em>reduced</em> is by remembering OIL RIG

OIL = Oxidation is Loss (of electrons)

RIG = Reduction is Gain (of electrons)

<h2><em><u>The answer to your question</u></em></h2>

1) The first step would be to clean the metal ring and sand it down because when the metal atoms from the electrolyte are deposited onto the ring, they will form a weak bond and they may simply 'fall' off. Also this could affect conductivity and the whole experiment. The more things you do accurately now, the more accurate your result will be.

2) You want to put the solution you are given in to the tank your going to be using.

3) This is basically the main part, you want to set up the circuit, I have attached a diagram at the bottom to show you the circuit. The copper rod will be the anode and the metal ring will be a cathode (ignore the elements).

4) Now turn on the circuit and you will start to see the solution spilt with the the solution now being split some going to the anode and some going the cathode.

5) Then a thin layer should form on the electrode.

Hope this helps :)
