A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions: half-reaction standard reduction potential (s)(aq)(aq)(l)

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Reduction (cathode): Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s)

Oxidation (anode): Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(⁺aq)

E°cell = 1.10 V

Explanation:

The half-reactions are missing, but I will propose some to show you the general procedure and then you can apply it to your equations.

Suppose we have the following half-reactions.

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red = 0.34 V

Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Zn(s) E°red = -0.76 V

To identify how to make a spontaneous cell, we need to consider the standard reduction potentials (E°red). The half-reaction with the higher E°red will occur as a reduction (in the cathode), whereas the one with the lower E°red will occur as an oxidation (in the anode).

Reduction (cathode): Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red = 0.34 V

Oxidation (anode): Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = -0.76 V

To get the overall equation we add both half-reactions.

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(⁺aq)

The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E°cell = 0.34 V - (-0.76 V) = 1.10 V

Since E°cell > 0, the reaction is spontaneous.

Cómo se forma el enlace ionico

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

El enlace iónico se forma por transferencia de electrones entre metales y no metales. El enlace covalente se forma al compartir electrones entre no metales.

Answer this ASAP please!! Question: How many magnesium atoms does magnesium oxide need? (Science) (ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW WHAT

aliina [53]

Answer:

40.3 for the unit that represents the minimum amount of magnesium oxide I beilieve.

Explanation:

Magnesium atoms are heavier than oxygen atoms, so we expect more than 50% of magnesium in the weight composition. Taking just one atom of Mg and one atom of O you will get a mass of 16.0 + 24.3 = 40.3.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if you have any questions :))

A. Explain, in terms of particles, why NaCl(s) does not conduct electricity.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.

Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:

The substance shall contain charged particles, and
These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.

A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.

Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl $\rm NaCl\;(s)$ . NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:

Positive $\rm Na^{+}$ ions, and
Negative $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions.

Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.

Inside solid NaCl $\rm NaCl\;(s)$ , electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.

As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
