Answer:
Q1. a) 4Al + 3O₂ ➟ 2Al₂O₃
b) 7.4 moles
c) 11.1 moles
Explanation:
To balance an equation, ensure that the total number of atoms of each element on both sides are equal.
Al + O₂ ➟ Al₂O₃
On the left side of the arrow, you would find the reactants while the product(s) is found on the left hand side.
<u>Reactants</u>
Al atoms: 1
O atoms: 2
<u>Product</u>
Al atoms: 2
O atoms: 3
After balancing,
4Al + 3O₂ ➟ 2Al₂O₃
We have 4 Al atoms and 6 O atoms on both sides.
b) The balanced equation tells us the mole ratio of Al to Al₂O₃.
Al: Al₂O₃
= 4: 2 (÷2 throughout)
= 2: 1
This means that for every 1 mole of Al₂O₃, 2 moles of Al is needed.
Since we need 3.7 moles of Al₂O₃,
number of moles of Al needed
= 2×3.7
= 7.4
c) 4Al + 3O₂ ➟ 2Al₂O₃
For every 4 moles of Al, 3 moles of O are needed.
For each mole of Al,
number of moles of O needed
= 3÷4
= 0.75
For 14.8 moles of Al,
number of moles of O required
= 0.75 ×14.8
= 11.1

Answer:
oxidation occurs at the cathode.
Explanation:
In a voltaic cell electrons move from anode to cathode. At the anode, species give up electrons. This is an oxidation reaction depicted by the oxidation half equation. At the cathode, species accept electrons and become reduced. This is depicted by the reduction half equation. In summary; in a Voltaic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
