velikii [3]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o=-0.73V\\\\Ag^+(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o=+0.80V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, silver will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The half reactions for the above cell is:

Oxidation half reaction: Cr(s)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-;E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.73V

Reduction half reaction: Ag^{+}+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.80V       ( × 3)

Net equation:  3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.80-(-0.73)=1.53V

Hence, the correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

what actually is left over of water once it self ionizes? Like what exactly are the hydrogen and hydroxide ions? Do they remain
GrogVix [38]
The formula for the self ionization of water is 2H₂O(l)⇄H₃O⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq)

The hydronium (H₃O⁺) is usually just referred to as a hydrogen ion or a proton (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) doesn't have another name that I am aware of.  These ions do stay in solution.  However the concentrations are really small and the equilibrium constant (K(w)) is 1×10⁻¹⁴.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which substance has two neutrons?<br><br> A. H-2<br><br> B. He-2<br><br> C. He-3<br><br> D. He-4
Feliz [49]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In a Helium (He) atom, the atomic structure of the atom has 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons. For an element X to be a Helium (He) atom, it must possess 2 protons. The number of neutrons present will determine its stability either if its probably radioactive or a natural occurring inert gas.

In option 1,

We have H-2. The symbol "H" is used to denote the element hydrogen in the periodic table and hydrogen has only 1 protons and 1 neutron making its mass number 2.

Option 2,

He -2 : here in this option, we have a helium atom, but with mass number of 2 only. Judging from the formula of mass number = protons + neutrons, we already have proton as 2, hence the number of neutrons there is zero (0)

Option 3,

He - 3 : just like in option 2, the only difference here is that the mass number is 3 hence making the number of neutrons just 1.

Option 4,

He - 4 : This option met the requirements of having 2 protons and 2 neutrons making a total of 4 which corresponds to the mass number.
