Answer:
no matter is destroyed or created, it merely changes form. In terms of atoms and bonds, there will be the same amount of atoms at the beginning of an experiment as the amount of atoms at the end of experiment. All that will have happened, is that during the reaction, bonds will have been broken and formed making new compounds. However, the amount of atoms remains exactly the same because matter can not be created or destroyed
Hope this helps!
The half-reaction are:
Cd ---> Cd(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from 0 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 2.
NiO(OH) --> Ni(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from +3 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 1.
Now, the greatest common factor would be 2. So, we use n=2 for the formula for ΔG°. F is Faraday's constant equal to 96,485 J/mol e.
ΔG° = nFE° = (2)(96,485)(1.5) =<em> 289,455 J</em>
substance is matter of particular or definite chemical constitution ex: iron, methane
mixture are two or more substances that have been combined to retain their individual chemical characteristics ex: salt water, cola
