Consider two electrochemical reactions: A and B. Reaction A results in the transfer of 2 mol of electrons per mole of reactant a

nd generates a current of 5 Amps on an electrode 2 cm2 in area. Reaction B results in the transfer of 3 mol of electrons per mole of reactant and generates a current of 15 Amps on an electrode having 5 cm2 in area. What are the net reaction rates for reactions A and B (in mol reactant per square centimeter per second)

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The rate of the electrochemical reaction per unit area is given by

r=\frac{i}{nFA}

where r is the Reaction Rate (in mol s-1 cm-2)

i is the Current Generated (in A)

n is the Number of moles of electrons per mole of reactant

F is Faraday's Constant= 96,500 C mol-1

A is the Electrode Area (in cm2)

(Unit of current should be expressed in terms of Columb per second, C s-1 to obtain reaction rate in mol s-1 cm-2)

Net Reaction Rate for Reaction A:

Given: Number of moles of A, n=2 moles

Current generated, i=5 A=5 C s-1

Electrode Area, A= 2cm2

Thus reaction rate is

\mathbf{r=\frac{5 C s^{-1}}{2*96500 C mol^{-1} *2 cm^{2}}= 1.3*10^{-5} mol s^{-1} cm^{-2}}

Net Reaction Rate for Reaction B:

Given: Number of moles of B, n=3 moles

Current generated, i=15 A=15 C s-1

Electrode Area, A= 5cm2

Thus reaction rate is

\mathbf{r=\frac{15 C s^{-1}}{3*96500 C mol^{-1}*5cm^{2}}= 1.036*10^{-5} mol s^{-1} cm^{-2}}

Reaction A has higher net reaction rate.

Suppose you mix several liquids in a jar. After a few minutes, the liquids form layers.Is this a homogenous mixture or a heterog
Aliun [14]

heterogeneous mixture, because, the layers are called phases and a heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases. the oil phase is less dense then water so it floats on top, etc.

Which of these molecules and polyatomic ions cannot be adequately described using a single Lewis structure? Check all that apply
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

 CO3^2- and O3

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Ozone, O3 is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms joined together. Two oxygen atoms joined together form the basic oxygen molecule O2.
  • A polyatomic ion is a charged particle which has two or more atoms held together by covalent (sharing of pairs of electrons) bonds.
  • Carbonate (CO3^2-) is an example of polyatomic ion. It can not be adequately described using Lewis structure.

Which electron configuration represents the
Pachacha [2.7K]

This problem is asking for the electron configuration of an excited atom of gallium, which according to the group it is, its excited state will theoretically be Ga³⁺, since it is a metal and loses three or less electrons, that is why it turns out positive. After writing the electron configuration, we realize the answer must be 2-8-17-4 according to the following:

<h3>Electron configurations:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, electron configurations allow us arrange the electrons of an element according to specific energy levels and orbitals. In such a case, it turns out possible to write Gallium's electron configuration in its ground-state as follows:

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^1

However, since the given choices do not match with a charge of 3+ as formerly explained, we assume this gallium atom will be excited to 1+, due to the fact that the third energy level comprising 18 electrons, will give one to the fourth energy level, turning out in an electron configuration of:

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{9}4p^2

Which matches with 2-8-17-4 as two electrons are present in the first energy level, eight in the second one, now seventeen in the third one and four in the fourth one.
