A galvanic (voltaic) cell has the generic metals X and Y as electrodes. X is more reactive than Y , that is, X more readily reac

ts to form a cation than Y does. Classify the descriptions by whether they apply to the X or Y electrode.

Margaret [11]3 years ago

Answer:

(1) cathode: Y

(2) anode X

(3) electrons in the wire flow toward: Y

(4) electrons in the wire flow away from: X

(5) anions from the salt bridge flow toward X

(6) cations from the salt bridge flow toward Y

(7) gains mass: Y

(8) looses mass X

Explanation:

The voltaic cell uses two different metal electrodes, each in an electrolyte solution. The anode will undergo oxidation and the cathode will undergo reduction. The metal of the anode will oxidize, going from an oxidation state of 0 (in the solid form) to a positive oxidation state, and it will become an ion. At the cathode, the metal ion in the solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode, and the ion’s oxidation state will reduce to 0. This forms a solid metal that deposits on the cathode. The two electrodes must be electrically connected to each other, allowing for a flow of electrons that leave the metal of the anode and flow through this connection to the ions at the surface of the cathode. This flow of electrons is an electrical current that can be used to do work, such as turn a motor or power a light.

Suppose that NaCl is added to hexane (C6H14) instead of water. Which of the following intermolecular forces will exist in the sy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Ion-ion force between Na+ and Cl− ions

London dispersion force between two hexane molecules

Explanation:

"Ion-dipole force between Na+ ions and a hexane molecule " does not exist since hexane has only non-polar bonds and therefore no dipole.

"Ion-ion force between Na+ and Cl− ions " exists since both are ions.

"Dipole-dipole force between two hexane molecules " does not exist since hexane molecules do not have a dipole.

"Hydrogen bonding between Na+ ions and a hexane molecule " does not exist since the hydrogen in the hydrogen bond must be bonded directly to an electronegative atom, which hexane does not have since it is a hydrocarbon.

"London dispersion force between two hexane molecules" exist since hexane is a molecular compound.

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.

Lawrencium-262 has a half-life of 4 hr. How much of a 40 mg sample remains after 12 hours?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

5 mg

Explanation:

If one half life is 4 hours, then 3 half lives is 12 hours.

This means that the sample will decay to 1/8 of its original amount.

So, the answer is 40(1/8) = 5 mg.
