Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 11.1 Energy efficiency problems. Suppose that you have left a 200-mL cup of coffee sitting
Illusion [34]

Answer:

efficiency of heating with this oven is 51 %

Explanation:

to raise the temp of 200 ml of coffee from 30°C to 60°C the energy input to microwave oven is:

1100 J/s x 45 = 49,500 J  

AT 100% efficiency

For 1°C the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 ml = 4.2 J

So for 30 C°, 1°C the energy required to raise the temperature of 200 ml =

Q = (4.2) (200)(30) = 25,200 J

efficiency = 25,200/49,500 = 0.51 = 51%

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCl, to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. The reaction is: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 +
prisoha [69]
Answer is: mass of HCl is 15,6 g.
Chemical reaction: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂.
m(Mg) = 5,2 g.
n(Mg) = m(Mg) ÷ M(Mg).
n(Mg) = 5,2 g ÷ 24,3 g/mol.
n(Mg) = 0,213 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Mg) : n(HCl) = 1 : 2.
n(HCl) = 0,426 mol.
m(HCl) = 0,426 mol · 36,45 g/mol.
m(HCl) = 15,6 g.
