8 0

Answer:

A. maintain electrical neutrality in the half-cells via migration of ions

Explanation:

Salt bridge -

For an electrochemical reaction , involving an anode and a cathode , both the electrodes are connect via a salt bridge to complete the circuit for the reaction .

One of the very important use of a salt bridge is to maintain the electrical neutrality of the respective half cells , which is achieved by the movement of ions .

Hence , from the given options , the correct option is ( a ) .

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. electrons and protons.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal number of protons and electrons in the atom.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

  When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.

Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals. (If the highlighted bond is not a pi bond, select the
Anestetic [448]

The image of the bonds are missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) - Sigma bond

-Sp³ and Sp³

- None

B) - Sigma and pi bond

- Sp² of C and p of O

- p of C and P of O

Explanation:

A) For compound 1;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma bond due to the end-to-end overlapping.

- Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond will be Sp³ and Sp³

- Atomic orbitals in the pi bond would be nil because there is no pi bond.

B) For compound 2;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma and pi bond

-Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond would be Sp² of C and p of O

- The Atomic orbitals in the pi bond will be; p of C and p of O

The Ba(OH)2 dissociates as Ba+2 + 2 OH-. H2SO4 dissociates as 2 H+ + SO4 -2.
suter [353]

Answer:

The balanced equations for those dissociations are:

Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

H₂SO₄ (aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)

Explanation:

As a strong base, the barium hidroxide gives OH⁻ to the solution

As a strong acid, the sulfuric acid gives H⁺ to the solution

Ba(OH)₂, is a strong base so the dissociation is complete.

H₂SO₄ is considerd a strong acid, but only the first deprotonation is strong.

The second proton that is released, has a weak dissociation.

H₂SO₄ (aq) → H⁺(aq) + HSO₄⁻(aq)

HSO₄⁻(aq) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq)       Ka
