What occurs at one of the electrodes in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell?

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

An increase in temperature results in A) a decrease in the required activation energy while the reaction rate remains constant.

N76 [4]

Answer:

C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy

Explanation:

Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.

The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.
