Answer:

See the answer below , please.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a certain compound is "broken" to give two or more different products.

An example for compound AB, giving as products A and B:

AB -> A + B

In the case of water:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02, water decomposes giving Hydrogen and Oxygen

Answer:

The answer is 2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes, producing two or more different substances. That is, two or more substances are formed in this type of reactions from a compound. The atoms that form a compound are separated to give the products according to the formula:

AB → A + B

This type of reactions can occur spontaneously or caused by certain external factors that promote the breakdown of the molecule into simpler substances.

So in this case 2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂ is a decomposition reaction. Potassium chlorate decomposes to give potassium chloride and oxygen gas as a product.

Identify the following reaction as oxidation and reduction F2(g)+2e-/2F-(aq)

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

In given reaction fluorine gas gain two electron and form fluoride ions.

F₂(g) + 2e⁻ → 2F⁻(aq)

The given reaction is reduction because oxidation state is decreased from zero to -1.

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coeffici

Brut [27]

<u>Question:</u>

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coefficient for 0.124 b HCl solution if E=0.342 V at 298 K

<u>Answer:</u>

The mean activity coefficient for HCl solution is 0.78.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Activity coefficient is defined as the ratio of any chemical activity of any substance with its molar concentration. So in an electrochemical cell, we can write activity coefficient as γ. The equation for determining the mean activity coefficient is

$E=E_{0}-0.0514 \mathrm{V} \ln \gamma$
