Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L
Answer:
-1.05 V
Explanation:
A detailed diagram of the setup as required in the question is shown in the image attached to this answer. The electrolytes chosen are SnCl2 for the anode half cell and MnCl2 for the cathode half cell. Tin rod and manganese rod are used as the anode and cathode materials respectively. Electrons flow from anode to cathode as indicated. The battery connected to the set up drives this non spontaneous electrolytic process.
Oxidation half equation;
Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e
Reduction half equation:
Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Mn(s)
Cell voltage= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode= -1.19V
E°anode= -0.14 V
Cell voltage= -1.19 V - (-0.14V)
Cell voltage= -1.05 V
Answer:
A closed system is a physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, though, in different contexts, such as physics, chemistry or engineering, the transfer of energy is or is not allowed.
