What will be the end product for each electrode after electrolysis if the solution is concentrated aqueous sodium chloride ?​

Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

Answer:

Cathode: Hydrogen gas

Anode: Chlorine gas

Explanation:

① Write down the ions present in the electrolyte

Cations: Na⁺, H⁺

Anions: Cl⁻ , OH⁻

② Decide which ions are preferentially discharged.

These are the factors:

For the discharge of cations,

- Reactivity series

(The lower the position of the cation in the reactivity series, the easier it is to be discharged)

For the discharge of anions,

- Concentration effect (look at this first)

(The more concentrated the ion, the easier for it to be discharged)

- If solution is not concentrated (dilute), look at the position of the anion on the electrochemical series.

(The lower the position of the anion on the electrochemical series, the easier of it to be discharged)

In this case:

For cations, H⁺ ions are selectively discharged at the cathode as its position is lower than Na⁺ in the reactivity series.

Anion: Cl⁻ ions, being more concentrated, are selectively discharged at the anode.

☆For electrolysis,

Cation at the cathode (-ve terminal)

Anion at the anode (+ve terminal)

In summary, here's what happened at each electrode:

<u>C</u><u>athode</u>

- H⁺ selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2H⁺ (aq) +2e⁻ → H₂ (g)

<u>Anode</u>

- Cl⁻ ions selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl₂ (g) + 2e⁻

Will NaBr, CO2, Ca3(PO4), or KZS raise a liquid's boiling point the most when
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

K_2S

Explanation:

According to the boiling point elevation law described by the equation \Delta T_b = iK_bb, the increase in boiling point is directly proportional to the van 't Hoff factor.

The van 't Hoff factor for nonelectrolytes is 1, while for ionic substances, it is equal to the number of moles of ions produced when 1 mole of salt dissolves.

NaBr would produce 2 moles of ions per 1 mole of dissolved substance, sodium and bromide ions.

Ca_3(PO_4)_2 is insoluble in water, so it would barely dissociate and wouldn't practically change the boiling point.

K_2S would dissociate into 3 moles of ions per 1 mole of substance, two potassium cations and one sulfide anion.

CO_2 is a gas, it would form some amount of carbonic acid when dissolved, however, carbonic acid is molecular and would yield i value of i = 1.

Therefore, potassium sulfide would raise a liquid's boiling point the most if all concentrations are equal.

How to calculate delta S surroundings? calculate Delta S(surr) at the indicated temperature for a reaction having each of the fo
astraxan [27]
You can use the equation ΔS(surr)=q(surr)/T or ΔS(surr)=-q(rxn)/T.
the two equations are equal since we know that the energy the system (reactoin) puts out just goes into the surroundings.  
(In other words q(surr)=-q(rxn))

Using the equation, <span>ΔS(surr)=-(-283kJ/298K)=0.9497kJ/K or 949.7J/K

This answer makes sense since the reaction is exothermic which means it released energy into the system which usually causes the entropy to increase.

I hope that helps.</span>

A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.864 g of maleic acid (MW=116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.276 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the s
Lilit [14]

Answer:

pH = 1.32

Explanation:

                 H₂M + KOH ------------------------ HM⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

This problem involves a weak diprotic acid which we can solve by realizing they amount  to buffer solutions.  In the first  deprotonation if all the acid is not consumed we will have an equilibrium of a wak acid and its weak conjugate base. Lets see:

So first calculate the moles reacted and produced:

n H₂M = 0.864 g/mol x 1 mol/ 116.072 g  =  0.074 mol H₂M

54 mL x  1L / 1000 mL x 0. 0.276 moles/L = 0.015 mol KOH

it is clear that the maleic acid will not be completely consumed, hence treat it as an equilibrium problem of a buffer solution.

moles H₂M left = 0.074 - 0.015 = 0.059

moles HM⁻ produced = 0.015

Using the Henderson - Hasselbach equation to solve for pH:

ph = pKₐ + log ( HM⁻/ HA) = 1.92 + log ( 0.015 / 0.059) = 1.325

Notes: In the HH equation we used the moles of the species since the volume is the same and they will cancel out in the quotient.

For polyprotic acids the second or third deprotonation contribution to the pH when there is still unreacted acid ( Maleic in this case) unreacted.
