Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions

omeli [17]

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$

$Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V$

The substance having highest positive reduction $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Reduction : cathode

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$ ..[1]

Oxidation: anode

$Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V$ ..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V$

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-$

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)$

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Can somebody help me with this also plz

just olya [345]

ANSWER:

4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.

For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states: $Fe^{2+}$ , $Fe^{3+}$ , $Cr^{2+}, Cr^{3+}$ , etc.

Normal metals such as $Pb^{2+} and Pb^{4+}$ also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state $Pb^{3+} and Pb^{5+}.$

4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.

5 a) $2Fe + 3Cl_2$ → $2FeCl_3$

5 b) $3Pb + 8HNO_3$ → $3Pb (NO_3)_2 + 4H_2O + 2NO_2$

5 c) $Zn + H_2SO_4$ → $ZnSO_4 + H_2$ (already balanced so don't need to change)

5 d) $2H_2 + O_2$ → $2H_2O$

5 e) $2Mg + 2HCl$ → $2MgCl + H_2$

EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):

1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.

2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.
