A salt bridge is used to provide electrons a path to flow from the electrode of one half-cell to another. TRUE FALSE

1 answer:

8 0

It is false. The salt bridge is not a path for electrons, but a path for ions to flow from one half-cell to another. It help to balance the charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels.

I think it’s microbiology, since it would help the student understand the process of composting the best. Botany is plants- not for composting. Geophysics- he’s not researching tectonic plates. Oceanography- he isn’t interested in the marina trench

Answer:

$\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}$

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

$\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}$

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer

Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : $MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq)$ ......(1)

Oxidation : $Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-$ .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$
