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^{-}

If 2.03 g of oxygen react with carbon monoxide, how many grams of CO2 are formed?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The suitable equation for this reaction is

2CO + O₂ -----> 2CO₂

Here, we are given that we have 2 grams of O₂

From the equation, we can see that 2 * Moles of O₂ = Moles of CO₂

Moles of O₂:

2/32 = 1/16 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of CO₂ is twice the moles of O₂

Moles of CO₂ = 2 * 1/16

Moles of CO₂  formed = 1/8 moles

Mass of CO₂  formed = Molar mass of CO₂ * Moles of CO₂

Mass of CO₂  formed = 44 * 1/8

Mass of CO₂  formed = 5.5 grams

Hence, option B is correct

Water is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume is recorded as 43.5 ml. a homogeneous sample of metal pellets with a mass
natulia [17]
Density = mass /volume of the body. mass = 10.88 g, volume of the liquid displaced= 49.4-43.5=5.9 ml.

density = 10.88/5.9=1.844 g/ml~1.84 g/ml

The volume displaced is exactly the same as that of the body (The Eureka fro Archimedes!)
