A student constructs an electrochemical cell. A diagram of the operating cell and the unbalanced ionic equation representing the

reaction occurring in the cell are shown below. The blue color of the solution in the copper half-cell indicates the presence of Cu2+ ions. The student observes that the blue color becomes less intense as the cell operates.
Identify the type of electrochemical cell represented by the diagram.

Answer:

A voltaic cell

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is a device which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The chemical reactions that take place inside the cell causes electrons to flow from anode to cathode hence, electricity is produced. A simple voltaic cell is made by placing two different metals in contact with an electrolyte separated by a salt bridge. The cathode is the negative electrode while the anode is the positive electrode. It is also called a galvanic cell.

In a voltaic cell having a copper/copper solution half cell, reduction occurs at the cathode. Hence, at the cathode copper II ions accept two electrons and become reduced to ordinary metallic copper. This causes the blue colour of the solution to become discharged (fade) as the cell continues to function.

Why is the theoritical strngth of metals much higher than that observed experimentally
fiasKO [112]

Not sure, but I would guess it's due to environmental factors, like heat, and imperfections in the metal. Just an educated guess, though.

What is the molar mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ?
agasfer [191]

Answer: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

The (triangle)Hrxn of formation of carbon dioxide is negative. Which statement is true? The reaction is endothermic. The reactio
ANEK [815]
The negative ion reactions that consist of the formation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is generally an exothermic reaction. By definition, an exothermic reaction takes place when the chemical process eventually releases heat as its by-product. It is in contrast in endothermic process wherein heat is absorbed.
