An anode is an electrode, it can be a metal or another conductor. in an electrochemical cell that is polarized if an electric current flows into it. Electric current flows opposite to the direction of movement of electrons. In electrochemical processes, both galvanic cells (batteries) and electrolysis cells, anodes undergo oxidation.
In contrast to an Anode, a Cathode is an electrode pole in an electrochemical cell that is polarized if this pole is positively charged (so that an electric current will flow out of it, or the movement of electrons will enter this pole).
In galvanic cells or power plants (batteries), the anode is the negative pole. The electrode will release electrons towards the circuit and hence an electric current flows into this electrode and makes it an anode and negative.
Answer:
Positive: a and b
Negative: c
Explanation:
The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.
When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.
But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.
Tollen's test is a test for aldehyde giving a silver mirror in its presence, hence also called silver mirror test. Among the choice, c. pentanal is the aldehyde. Answer is C.
Answer:
The darkness of the green color produced in the beakers is different because the concentration of magnesium hydroxide is different in both beakers.
Explanation:
The reason why the flasks have different color intensity is related to the concentration of magnesium hydroxide.
An indicator usually changes color because its conformation changes according to the pH. The higher the base level, the pH is higher. Then the color shift will be more intense.
Beaker A has 20 ml of magnesium hydroxide and 100 ml of water and beaker B has 50ml of magnesium hydroxide and 100ml of water.
Beaker A is more diluted than beaker B.
Therefore, beaker B is greener than beaker A.
Answer:
A nitrogen atom must gain three electrons to have the same number of electrons as an atom of the following noble gas, neon. Thus, a nitrogen atom will form an anion with three more electrons than protons and a charge of 3−. The symbol for the ion is N3−, and it is called a nitride ion.
