Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

melisa1 [442]

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them.  In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.

The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.

During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.

At anode :  2 Cl⁻ →    Cl₂ + 2e⁻

At cathode:   2 Li⁺   +   2e⁻  →  Li

If a beaker of water and a beaker of acetic acid are at the same elevated temperature, which will cool more quickly to room temp
4vir4ik [10]
The beaker of acetic acid will cool more quickly.

The specific heat capacity of acetic acid is about half that of water.
Thus, it takes twice as much heat gain (or loss) in acetic acid to cause a given change in temperature.
If everything else is constant and heat is being lost at the same rate, the temperature of the acetic acid should drop twice as fast as that of water.
