A cell consists of a gold wire and a saturated calomel electrode (S.C.E.) in a 0.130 M AuNO 3 solution at 25 °C. The gold wire i

s connected to the positive end of a potentiometer, and the S.C.E. is connected to the negative end of the potentiometer. What is the half‑reaction that occurs at the Au electrode? Include physical states.

Answer:

The half reaction occurring at this electrode will be given as:

Au^++e^-\rightarrow Au

Explanation:

In electrochemical cell reduction occurs at anode.

But the gold wire is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which means that gold wire will act as a cathode nad reduction will take place

The half reaction occurring at this electrode will be given as:

Au^++e^-\rightarrow Au

What mass of oxygen is required to completely react with 2 moles of ch4
Firlakuza [10]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between methane and oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide is expressed CH4  + 2 O2 = CO2 +2H2O. Hence for 2 moles of methane used, 4 moles of oxygen are needed to react completely.

Suppose a cobalt atom in the oxidation state formed a complex with two bromide anions and four ammonia molecules. Write the chem
Katena32 [7]

Complete Question:

Suppose a cobalt atom in the +3 oxidation state formed a complex with two bromide (Br-) anions and four ammonia (NH3) molecules. write the chemical formula of this complex.

Answer:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

Explanation:

The cobalt atom with +3 oxidation is represented as Co⁺³, and if it's bonded to two bromide ions, and four ammonia molecules. The molecules that are bonded to the metal atom (Co) are called complexing agents.

In the representation, we first put the molecules that surround the metal atom, forming an anion with the oxidation of the metal:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺³

Then, the ions are put in the formula. Because there are two bromides ion, each one with 1 minus charge, only 2 plus charged will be neutralized, and the complex will be:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂
