Consider the following voltaic cell:(j) In which direction do anions within the salt bridge move to maintain charge neutrality?

1 answer:

7 0

In order to maintain neutrality, the negatively charged ions in the salt bridge will migrate into the anodic half-cell. A similar (but reversed) situation is found in the cathodic cell.

<h3>What purpose does a salt bridge serve in an oxidation process?</h3>

Anions (negatively charged particles) are added to the solution of the oxidation half of the cell by the salt bridge, and cations (positively charged particles) are added to the solution of the reduction half of the reaction.

<h3>What purpose does the salt bridge serve in a galvanic cell?</h3>

For instance, KCl, AgNO3, etc. In a galvanic cell, such as a voltaic cell or Daniel cell, salt bridges are typically used. A salt bridge's primary job is to assist in preserving the electrical neutrality of the internal circuit. Additionally, it aids in keeping the cell's response from reaching equilibrium.

Without consulting Appendix B, arrange each group in order of increasing standard molar entropy (S°). Explain.(c) SF₆(g), SF₄(g)

Andre45 [30]

The increasing order of standard molar entropy (S°) is as follow:

SF₄(g) < SF₆(g) < S₂F₁₀(g)

<h3>What is Entropy? </h3>

Entropy is defined as the randomness of the particle. It depends on temperature and pressure or number of particle per unit volume.

It is directly proportional to the temperature and pressure of the gas.

<h3>What is Standard Molar Entropy? </h3>

The standard molar entropy is defined as the entropy content of the one mole of pure substance at the standard state of temperature and pressure of interest.

The standard molar entropy is also defined as the total amount of entropy which 1 mole of the substance acquire, as it is brought from 0K to standard conditions of temperature and pressure.

The standard molar entropy depends on the molas mass of atom, molecules or compound.

SF₄(g) has lower standard molar entropy. Due to less complexity of this molecules.

While, complexity increases from SF₆(g) to S₂F₁₀(g). Therefore, the standard molar entropy of S₂F₁₀(g) is greater than SF₆(g).

Thus, we concluded that the increasing order of standard molar entropy (S°) is as follow:

SF₄(g) < SF₆(g) < S₂F₁₀(g)

Why must every redox reaction involve an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent?

vagabundo [1.1K]

A reduced element (which gains electrons) and an oxidized element are required for redox reactions (gives electrons). It is not a redox reaction if we lack both of them (an element can not receive electrons if no element gives electrons and vice versa).

A reduced half and an oxidized half, which always occur together, make up redox processes. While the oxidized half experiences electron loss and an increase in oxidation number, the reduced half obtains electrons and the oxidation number declines. The mnemonic devices OIL RIG, which stand for "oxidation is loss" and "reduction is gain," are simple ways to memorize this. In a redox process, the total number of electrons stays constant. In the reduction half reaction, another species absorbs those that were released in the oxidation half reaction.

In a redox reaction, two species exchange electrons, and they are given unique names:

The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent - by accepting electrons it oxidizes other species.
The ion or molecule that donates electrons is called the reducing agent - by giving electrons it reduces the other species.

Hence, what is oxidized is the reducing agent and what is reduced is the oxidizing agent.

<h3>What is the purpose of oxidizing agents and reducing agents?</h3>

By reducing other compounds and shedding electrons, a reducing agent raises its oxidation state. An oxidizing agent gets electrons by oxidizing other compounds; as a result, its oxidation state lowers.

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

Oxidation-reduction (or "redox") reactions are chemical processes in which electrons are exchanged between two substances. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical process in which a molecule, atom, or ion alters the number of electrons it has, hence increasing or decreasing its oxidation state.
