Use the following half-reactions to construct a voltaic cell:

Chemistry

velikii [3]3 years ago
4 0

<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 is the formula of the compound formed between chlorine and calcium?
VLD [36.1K]

the formula  of the compound that  is formed  between  chlorine and calcium  is CaCl2


explanation

chlorine (non  metal)  react  with Calcium ( a metal)  to  form an ionic compound  CaCl2

Ionic compound   is formed when metal  loses electrons to form cation ( a  positively charged ion)  while  non metal  gains electrons  to  form anion (  a  negatively  charged ion)

An ionic compound is formed when calcium   metal(Ca) loses two electron to form   Ca2+ cation ,  while   2 chlorine atom  gain  one electron each to form cl- anions.


  • when writing  down  the formula  of ionic compound  cation  symbol  is written first  followed by  anion symbol.

Therefore the formula  of ionic compound formed between chlorine  and calcium is CaCl2

The first IE of neon (atomic number 10) is significantly higher than that of argon (atomic number 18) but significantly
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

Different atoms binds their outermost shell electrons with different amount of energy.

The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom is the ionization energy.

  • Ionization energy measures the readiness of an atom to lose electrons.
  • From the given problem, we can infer that in group O the ionization energy decreases down the group.
  • Helium has the highest ionization energy.
  • Down a group on the periodic table, ionization energy decrease because:
  1.  atomic radii increases down the group.
  2. there is an increasing shielding/screening effect of inner shell electrons on the outermost shell electrons.

6. Which specific processes in the rock cycle occur beneath the Earth's surface?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Under the earth's surface, rocks melt, metamorphize, and crystalize.

Explanation:

Metamorphic and Igneous rocks are basically dependant on the heat/pressure of the environment under the surface :) Melting, metamorphosing and crystallization all occur under earth's surface.

If the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 3 to 2, what is the
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Length of a rectangle whose width is 4 inches is

<u>6 inches</u>

Explanation:

Ratio of length  to its width is 3 to 2

Let length  = L

Let Width  = B

L: B = 3 : 2 (given)

\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}

Width ,B = 4

Insert  B in above equation

\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}

\frac{L}{4} =\frac{3}{2}

cross multiply,

L = \frac{3}{2}\times4

L = 6 inches

Conversion(if required) ,

1 inch = 2.54 cm

6 inch = 2.54 (6)

L = 15.24 cm
