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.

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​
yulyashka [42]
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

What is the formula for the compound by calcium ions and chloride ions?
dimaraw [331]
To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.

A balloon full of air has a volume of 1.00L at a temperature of 23 °C. What is the balloon's volume at 33°C?
igomit [66]

Answer:

V2= 1.03L

Explanation:

Start off with what you are given.

V^1: 1.00L

T^1: 23°C

V^2?

T^2: 33°C

If you know your gas laws, you have to utilise a certain gas law called Charles' Law:

V^1/T^1 = V^2/T^2

Remember to convert Celsius values to Kelvin whenever you are dealing with gas problems. This can be done by adding 273 to whatever value in Celsius you have.

(23+273 = 296)     (33+273 = 306)

Multiply crisscross

1.00/296= V^2/306

296V^2 = 306

Dividing both sides by 296 to isolate V2, we get

306/296 = 1.0337837837837837837837837837838

V2= 1.03L

Ca(OH)2 (s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC2(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g s
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q <  Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂  is produced:

CaC₂(s)  + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂  is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product  constant for Ca(OH)₂  is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M  = 0.002 M  ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q=  [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is option D
