Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)

Chemistry

Dovator [93]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>half-reactions</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)

With this in mind we can <u>add the electrons</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)  <u>Reduction</u>

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~ <u>Oxidation</u>

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_) - 0.69 V

Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_) -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to <u>flip</u> the reduction potential value:

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to <u>add</u> the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = <u>0.97 V</u>

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)

I hope it helps!

Give two reasons why the flame test is sometimes invalid
zlopas [31]
The two reason behind the invalidity of flame test are false positive and false negative.
while performing the flame test you must have to be accurate otherwise you will get false results may be positive for some element or may be negative in case the element is present. The main reason to get the false positive and false negative is the presence and contamination of sodium.

What is the pressure in a gas container that is connected to an open-end U-tube manometer if the pressure of the atmosphere is 7
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The pressure in the gas is 656mmHg

Explanation:

In calculating the pressure of the gas;

step 1: convert the height of the mercury arm to mmHg

9.60cm = 96.0 mmHg

step 2: convert 752 torr to mmHg

I torr is 1 mmHg

752 torr = 752mmHg

Step 3: since the level of mercury in the container is higher than the level of mercury exposed to the atmosphere, we substrate the values to obtain our pressure.

So, 752mmHg - 96mmHg = 656mmHg

The pressure in the gas container is therefore 656mmHg.

N. B : if the mercury arm is in lower position, you add.
