Molten barium chloride is separeted
into two species :
BaCl₂(l) → Ba(l) + Cl₂(g),
but first ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat:
BaCl₂(l) → Ba²⁺(l) + 2Cl⁻(l).
Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Ba²⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → Ba(l).
Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2Cl⁻(l) → Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻.
<span>The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.</span>
The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to produce from the reaction.
This will be our starting point.
560 L CH4 ( 1 mol CH4/ 22.4 L CH4 ) (2 mol O2/ 1 mol CH4 ) (
22.4 L O2 / 1 mol <span>O2</span><span>) = 1120 L O2</span>
H2(g) + Cl2(g) = 2 HCl(aq) (balanced equation)
