Why are the oxidation and reduction half-reactions separated in an electrochemical cell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2>It makes the current viable enough to pass through an exterior wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells primarily comprise of two half-cells. These half-cells assist in isolating the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. These two reactions are linked by a wire which allows the current to move from one edge to the other. The oxidation at the anode and the reduction take place at the cathode and the addition of a salt bridge helps in completing the circuit and permits the current to flow and leads to the generation of electricity.

A jar is filled with water, and the lid is closed tightly. The jar is kept at constant temperature. What happens at the surface
Katarina [22]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The correct answer is A: Water molecules evaporate and condense at the same rate.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Evaporation is defined as the physical change from liquid to gas, and Condensation is the physical change from gas to liquid.

At any given temperature, these two processes occur at once, in a dynamic equilibrium.

When the lid is closed, evaporation occurs faster than condensation, and pressure increases. Then, when pressure reaches a critical value, condensation starts to occur faster than evaporation, until an equilibrium is reached, and the pressure of the water molecules in the gas phase is maximum for that temperature. The pressure at that point is called Vapor Pressure.

Have a nice day!

When pure methanol is mixed with water the resulting solution feels warm would you expect this solution to be ideal?Explain
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In ideal solutions, the interactions between solute - solvent are approximately the same as those of solute - solute and solvent - solvent, that is the interactions are to be practically indistintiguishable after disolution.

The moment we have a release of energy (the solution feels warm) we are to conclude that there are strong interactions between the water and methanol molecules so we would expect the solution to be non ideal.

The reason for the interactions is the presence of hydrogen bonds between methanol and water.

What role does hydrogen bonding play in liquid water and ice?
Leto [7]
Due to hydrogen bonding there is a formation of cage like structure called lattice in ice due to which <span> density of ice is less than that of water. Moreover, it is a known fact that density of water is maximum at 4°C.</span>
