Answer : The correct option is, (3) Oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode

Explanation :

Electrochemical cell : It is the cell in which the chemical reaction occurs with the production of electric potential difference between the two electrodes.

Or, it is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

In this cell, the oxidation occurs at anode which is a negative electrode and reduction occurs at cathode which is a positive electrode.

Hence, the correct option is, (3) Oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode

The answer is (3), oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. That's because the oxidation reaction can lose electrons and reduction can gain electrons.

What is the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

Explanation:

When aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate are mixed together it gives white precipitate barium sulfate and aqueous solution od cesium perchlorate.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

According to reaction, 1 mole of cesium sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium perchlorate to give 1 mole of a white precipitate of barium sulfate and 2 moles of cesium perchlorate.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The
dsp73

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
