An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)

Chemistry

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c.  It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.

Which of the following best describes what happens when molecular compounds melt? A.) Molecules separate into their component at
Semenov [28]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. When a molecular compound melts, they undergo the process of phase change from solid to liquid therefore m<span>olecules arranged in a regular pattern change to an irregular pattern. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Determine the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of CO2.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

eg=linear, mg=linear

Explanation:

First of all, it must be stated that most triatomic molecules are either linear or bent. This depends on the electron geometry of the molecule and the number of bonding groups, multiple bonds and lone pairs present.

CO2 contains four regions of electron density and two bonding groups. For a specie containing two bonding groups, a linear molecular geometry is expected with an angle of 180°.

For a specie having two bonding groups and no lone pairs with multiple bonds, the expected electron geometry is also linear.
