Which way does current flow in a galvanic cell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]1 year ago
7 0

In a galvanic cell, the flow of electrons will be from the anode to cathode through the circuit .

Whether a cell is an electrolysis cell (non-spontaneous chemistry driven by forcing electricity from an external energy source) or a galvanic cell (spontaneous chemistry driving electricity), will determine the charge of the anode and the cathode. Depending on where the electrons encounter resistance and find it difficult to pass, a negative charge may emerge. Therefore, you cannot determine the direction of the current just on the charge on the electrode.

Oxidation and reduction always take place at the anode and cathode, respectively.

An element undergoes oxidation when it surrenders one or more electrons to become more positively charged. These electrons leave the chemicals in any type of cell and travel to the anode, where they enter the external circuit.

An element picks up an electron during reduction to become more negatively charged (less positive, lower oxidation state). These electrons are captured from the external circuit at the cathode in both types of cells.

Therefore, no matter what kind of cell you are dealing with, the oxidizing chemicals at the anode transfer the electrons to the external circuit; these electrons then move through the circuit from the anode to the cathode, where they are captured by the reducing chemicals. The electrons always go from the anode to the cathode via the external circuit.

Does the equation describe a chemical change or a physical change? Explain your reasoning.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Chemical change

Explanation:

There are types of changes in nature namely: physical change and chemical change. A physical change is a change that does not alter the chemical composition of the substances involved, hence, no new substances are formed. On the other hand, a chemical change changes the chemical composition of the involved substances to form new substances.

Based on the definition of the types of changes below, the equation depicted in this question is a CHEMICAL CHANGE because it involves a rearrangement of the atoms of each element in the reactants to produce new sets of products with a new chemical formula.

A gas tank holds 1125 mL of propane at 3.87 atm. What is the volume of the propane at 777 mm Hg?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Propane tanks are most commonly referred to by their water capacity volume, and propane tanks are normally filled to 80% of its water capacity. For example, a 120-gallon tank will hold approximately 100 gallons of propane when completely full. Since propane is stored in a liquid state under pressure, it needs room to

A mole equals 6.02 x 10^23 . Answer these questions below.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

1. 1.25 mol ants x 6.02*10^23 ants/1 mol ants = 7.53*10^23 ants

2. 4.92*10^26 pencils x 1 mol pencils/6.02*10^23 pencils = 817 mol pencils

3. 0.26 mol molecules x 6.02*10^23 molecules/1 mol molecules = 1.6*10^23 molecules

4. 3.46*10^19 molecules x 1 mol molecules/6.02*10^23 molecules = 5.75*10^-5 mol molecules

5. 5.3*10^20 atoms x 1 mol atoms/6.02*10^23 atoms = 8.8 mol atoms

6. 0.11 mol atoms x 6.02*10^23 atoms/1 mol atoms = 6.6*10^22 atoms

I would suggest looking into "dimensional analysis" for help with this type of material. Dimensional analysis will stick with you all throughout chemistry, so picking it up will be extremely beneficial.
