Current is applied to a molten mixture of AgF , FeCl2 , and AlBr3 . What is produced at each electrode? STRATEGY Rank the cation

s by reduction potential. The ion with the highest reduction potential is favored for reduction. Rank anions by oxidation potential. The ion with the highest oxidation potential is favored for oxidation. Determine the products of the favored half‑reactions. Step 1: The cations Ag+ , Fe2+ , and Al3+ will all compete for reduction at the cathode.

Answer:

Cathode: Ag

Anode: Br₂

Explanation:

In the cathode must occur a reduction, so it's more likely to a metal atom be in the cathode. For the metals given the reduction reactions and the potential of reduction are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag⁰ E° = + 0.80 V

Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁰ E° = - 0.44 V

Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al⁰ E° = -1.66 V

As the potential for Ag is the higher, the reduction will occur for it first, so in the cathode will produce Ag.

For the anode an oxidation must occurs, so the reactions for the nonmetals are:

F₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2F⁻ E° = +2.87 V

Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Cl⁻ E° = +1.36 V

Br₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Br⁻ E° = +1.07 V

For oxidation, the less the E°, the faster the reaction will occur, so Br₂ will be formed in the anode.

The carbon cycle is closely linked to which process?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Carbon cycle involves the exchange of components between the hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. During carbon cycle, materials such as gases, minerals which are necessary for life are interchange. For example, animals pass out faeces on the soil which is rich in urea. Urea decomposes to provide nitrogen into the soil through bioactive bacterials. The nitrogen is used up by plants to grow. During photosynthesis, plants uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and release oxygen for animals to use. It's like a purification system where one waste product from one organism is used by the other to survive.

Equation of photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

What is the mass of a magnesium block that measures 2.00 cm
skad [1K]

Answer:

m = 31.284 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a magnesium block is 2.00 cm  x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm.

The density of magnesium is, d = 1.738 g/cm³

We need to find the mass of the magnesium block. We know that the density of an object is given by its mass per unit its volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{Where m=mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=1.738\ g/cm^3\times (2\times 3\times 3)\ cm^3\\\\m=31.284\ \text{grams}

So, the mass of the block is 31.284 grams.

What happens to iron when it melts?
Vilka [71]

As iron heats up, the arrangement of its atoms changes several times before it melts. ... Iron is magnetic at room temperature, and previous work predicted that iron's magnetism favors its open structure at low temperatures, but at 770 degrees Celsius iron loses its magnetism.
