Do atoms or molecules in solids have no motion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Well yes and no

Explanation:

The molecules move, but in place. They are constantly vibrating, rotating and so forth.

Atoms do not move at all

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of zinc in a 1.0 M zinc ion solution and another electrode composed
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is a device that uses redox reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reaction used is always spontaneous.

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.

The species that supplies electrons is the reducing agent (that is, it is that species that oxidizes, yielding electrons and increasing its positive charge, or decreasing the negative one causing the reduction of the other species) and the one that gains them is the oxidizing agent ( that is, it is that species that is reduced, capturing electrons and increasing its negative charge, or decreasing its positive charge, causing oxidation of the other species).

The galvanic cell works as follows: In the anodic half-cell oxidations occur, while in the cathodic half-cell reductions occur. The anode electrode, conducts the electrons that are released in the oxidation reaction, to the metallic conductors. These electrical conductors conduct the electrons and carry them to the cathode electrode; the electrons thus enter the cathode half-cell and the reduction takes place in it.

To determine the oxidizing and reducing agent you must first know the reduction potentials. For this you consult the list of standard reduction potentials. In this list you can see that the semi-reactions that occur with their corresponding potentials are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn E° -0.76 V

The species that has the greatest potential for reduction will be the species that will be reduced, that is, it will be the oxidizing agent. In this case, it will be the experience corresponding to silver (Ag). Therefore, to obtain the redox reaction, the half-reaction corresponding to zinc (Zn) must be reversed to be an oxidation, keeping its E ° value constant. Then:

Reduction: Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Oxidation: Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ E° -0.76 V

So: <em>E°cell=Ereduction - Eoxidation</em>

Or what is the same<em> E°cell=Ecathode - Eanode </em>because the reduction always occurs in the cathode and oxidation in the anode.

E°cell=0.80 V - (-0.76) V

<em>E°cell= 1.56 V</em>

Then <u><em>the E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.</em></u>

What aspect of metallic bonding is responsible for malleability ductility and conductivity of metals?
ANTONII [103]
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.

The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
