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.

The volume of the earth is approximately 1.08326x10 to the 12th power km to the 3rd power. How many liters is this
mafiozo [28]

Here, we are required to determine the volume of the earth which is 1.08326 × 10¹² km³ in liters.

<em>The volume of the earth is approximately</em>,

, 1.08326 × 10²⁴ liters

By conversion factors;

  • <em>1dm³ = 1liter</em>
  • However; <em>1km = 10000dm = 10⁴ </em><em>dm</em>
  • Therefore, 1km³ = (10⁴)³ dm³.

Consequently, 1km³ = 10¹²dm³ = 10¹²liters.

The conversion factor from 1km³ to liters is therefore, c.f = 10¹²liters/km³

Therefore, the volume of the earth which is approximately, 1.08326 × 10¹² km³ can be expressed in liters as;

<em>1.08326 × 10¹² km³ × 10¹²liters/km³ </em>

The volume of the earth is approximately,

1.08326 × 10²⁴ liters.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A potassium atom (atomic number 19) and a bromine atom (atomic number 35) can form a chemical bond through a transfer of one electron. The potassium ion that forms has 18 electrons. What best describes the bromide ion that forms? It is a negative ion that has one more valence electron than a neutral bromine atom.
