Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - ${Br_2}_{(l)}$

At cathode - ${H_2}_{(g)}$

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

$H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

$NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-$

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

${Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

$2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}$

In the reaction N2O4(g) 2NO2(g), what changes in color would you expect as pressure is increased at constant temperature?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Brown color of the solution decreases

Explanation:

$NO_2$ is brown in color whereas $N_2O_4$ is colorless.

Equilibrium reaction between $NO_2$ and $N_2O_4$ is as follows:

$2NO_2\leftrightharpoons N_2O_4$

As per the Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure of a equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction having fewer no. of moles of gases.

In the given equilibrium, $NO_2$ side has more no. of moles. So on increasing pressure, equilibrium will shift towards the side of $N_2O_4$ or more formation of $N_2O_4$ will take place.

Therefore, more $NO_2$ will decompose that will decrease the brown color of the solution as $N_2O_4$ is colorless.

A series of six solutions was prepared at the given concentrations. Sample A B C D E F Concentration (mM) 50 100 150 200 300 400

ioda

Answer:

300 mM

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to calculate the line of best fit for those experimental values. The absorbance values go in the Y-axis while the concentration goes in the X-axis. We can calculate the linear fit using Microsoft Excel using the LINEST function (alternatively you can write the Y data in one column and X data in another one, then use that data to create a dispersion graph and finally add the line of best fit and its formula).

The formula for the line of best fit for this set of data is:

y = 0.005 * x

So now we calculate the value of x when y is 1.50:

1.50 = 0.005 * x

x = 300 mM
