Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.
In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).
Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
Answer:
The final balanced equation is : 2C2H2+5O2→4CO2+2H2O.
Answer:
H₂O is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂
Explanation:
Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.
6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O
We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al. But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O. Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.
Now find the theoretical yield:
7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃
7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂
Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
A substance that consist of two elements is one IN WHICH THE ELEMENTS ARE CHEMICALLY COMBINED IN A FIXED PROPORTION.
A compound is a substance that is made up of two or more elements which have undergone chemical reaction together and their individual properties have been lost during the reaction, thus a compound has properties that are different from those of its constituents elements. Compounds are usually combined in specific fixed ratio.<span />
