Yes. Mercury has 80 protons. Tin has 50 protons. Same for electrons, it just doesn't have an exact number.

Lunna [17]

The structure of Methanol (CH₃OH) is shown below. This structure contains 2 lone pair of electrons on oxygen (highlighted red). Electronic configuration of oxygen is,

Oxygen = 8 = 1s², 2s², 2px², 2py¹, 2pz¹

There are six electrons in valence shell of oxygen, among these six electrons two electrons are unpaired and involved in forming covalent bond with hydrogen and carbon, while remaining 4 electrons in pair (i.e. 2s², 2px²) exists as lone pairs.

Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)

Dovator [93]

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. $Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the half-reactions:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)$

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)$

With this in mind we can add the electrons:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)$ Reduction

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~$ Oxidation

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

$Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_)$ - 0.69 V

$Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_)$ -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to flip the reduction potential value:

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~$ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to add the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = 0.97 V

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

$Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)$
