Answer:

Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)

4.50 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 1
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}   ( Naphthalene )

Explanation:

Given that:

4.50 g of a Compound X is made up of Carbon , Hydron and Oxygen

It's molecular molar mass = 128 g/mol

Compound X undergoes combustion reaction and the product yield :

CO_2 with mass 15.47g and :

H_2O with mass 2.53 g

The objective is to use this information to determine the molecular formula of X.

We all know that ; number of moles = mass/molar mass

where the molar mass of H_2O is 18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 2.53 g/18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 0.1406 moles

Also; the molar mass of CO_2 product = 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 15.47g/ 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product =  0.3516 moles

number of moles of Compound X in the reactant side= 4.50 g /128 g/mol

number of moles of Compound X n the reactant side= 0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 0.3516 moles/0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 10

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 0.1406 moles × 2/0.03516

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 7.997 ≅ 8

Since we said the Compound X is known to be made of Carbon C , Hydrogen H and Oxygen O

Then the molecular formula can be written as :

\mathbf{C_{10}H_8O_{x}}

In order to find the x; we have

128  = (12 × 10 + 1 × 8 + 16 × x)

128 = 120 + 8 + 16x)

128  =  128 + 16 x

128 - 128 = 16 x

0 = 16 x

x = 0/16

x = 0

As x = 0 ; hence there are no oxygen present in the reaction

Thus; the molecular formula of Compound X = \mathbf{C_{10}H_8} which is also known as Naphthalene

Re-order each list of elements in the table below, if necessary, so that the elements are listed in order of decreasing electron
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

O, S, Te

Cl, Br, Se

Explanation:

Main group elements have an electronegativity that increases across a period (from left to right) and decreases down a group.

Each atom has its own value which you can find on the electronegativity chart.

Metals have low values

Nonmetals have high values

I'm your case:

O = 3.5

S = 2.5

Te = 2.1

Cl = 3.0

Br = 2.8

Se = 2.4
