The purpose for the "inert electrode" is quite obvious and also, it's spelled in it's name it's self. The purpose for this would be the first, "conduct electrons". This would be the purpose of this inert electrode, to conduct that electrons at the give time.

A.to create a solution of anions
B. to create a solution of cations
C.to conduct electrons
D. to conduct protons

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An inert electrode is defined as an electrode that releases electrons or which serves as a sink for electrons. An inert electrode does not participate chemically in the electrode reaction.

For example, in a voltaic cell anode is negatively charged and cathode is positively charged. So, electrons release from the anode and they get deposited on the cathode.

This leads to generation of electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the purpose of the inert electrode is to conduct electrons.

4. How many atoms are in 32.6 g of Oxygen?

Natali5045456 [20]

Hey there!

Oxygen has a molar mass of 16. That means 16g of oxygen is 1 mole.

32.6 ÷ 16 = 2.0375 moles

We have 2.0375 moles.

There are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms in one mole.

2.0375 x 6.022 x 10²³

1.3 x 10²⁴

There are 1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms in 32.6 grams of oxygen.

Hope this helps!

what mass of carbon dioxide gas would be produced if 10g of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer is: 4,4 grams of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.
