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:

Cathode

- H⁺ selectively discharged

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

Anode

- Cl⁻ ions selectively discharged

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

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

Explanation:

The stoichiometry for this reaction is

$2NO_2\rightarrow2NO+O_2$

The rate for this reaction can be written as

$-r_{NO_2}=-\frac{d\left[NO_2\right]}{dt}=\frac{(0.01-0.008)M}{100s}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

This rate of disappearence of $NO_2$ can be realated to the rate of appearence of $O_2$ as follows (the coefficients of each compound are defined by the stoichiometry of the reaction)

$-r_{O_2}=-r_{NO_2}\times\frac{coefficient\ O_2\ }{coefficient\ NO_2}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}\times\frac{1\ mole\ O_2\ }{2\ mole\ NO_2}=1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

A zinc rod is placed in 0.1 MZnSO4 solution at 298 K. Write the electrode reaction and calculate the potential of the electrode.

yanalaym [24]

Answer: The potential of electrode is -0.79 V

Explanation:

When zinc is dipped in zinc sulfate solution, the electrode formed is $Zn^{2+}(aq.)/Zn(s)$

Reduction reaction follows: $Zn^{2+}(0.1M)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);(E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V)$

To calculate the potential of electrode, we use the equation given by Nernst equation:

$E_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}=E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn]}{[Zn^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = -0.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn]=1M$ (concentration of pure solids are taken as 1)

$[Zn^{2+}]=0.1M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=-0.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1}{0.1})\\\\E_{cell}=-0.79V$

Hence, the potential of electrode is -0.79 V

In glycolysis, as in all the stages of cellular respiration, the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptor

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Oxidized,Reduced,reductant,oxidant, NAD+,NADH

Explanation:

1 when a compound donates electrons the compound becomes oxidized.such a compound is referred to as electron donor.

2 when a compound accept electron the compound becomes reduced such a compound often referred to as electron acceptor.

3 In glycolysis once the carbon containing compound that functions as electron donor is reductant.

4 once the electron donor in glycolysis gives up its electron ,it is oxidized to a compound called oxidant.

5 NAD+ is the compound that function as electron acceptor in glycolysis.

6 The reduced form of electron acceptor in glycolysis is NADH.
