The salt bridge prevents the direct mixing of one half-cell solution with the other and allows ions to migrate from one half-cell to another.
Natalka [10]2 years ago
3 0

Salt bridge is used to maintain the electrical neutrality in a cell as migration of ions from half cell to other half cell occurs to keep the balance in charges. In the absence of the salt bridge, the charges get imbalanced. After that, the cell stops working because ions will collected in both the electrolytes until the potential difference due to ions and potential difference from the reaction is just opposite to each other. Due to this, flow of electrons doesn't takes place and no current will flow.

Therefore, the function of salt bridge is to maintain the electrical neutrality in a cell.

How do protons determine element identity
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The number of protons also determines the identity of the element. ... Since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must equal the number of protons.

4.00 moles of CU(CN)2<br><br>Find the number of grams ​
UNO [17]

Hey there!

Cu(CN)₂

Find the molar mass.

Cu: 1 x 63.546 = 63.546

C: 2 x 12.01 = 24.02

N: 2 x 14.07 = 28.14

-----------------------------------

                      115.706 grams

The mass of one mole of Cu(CN)₂ is 115.706 grams.

We have 4 moles.

115.706 x 4 = 463

4.00 moles of Cu(CN)₂ has a mass of 463 grams.

Hope this helps!

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
