Answer:
Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.
Explanation:
Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.
2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂
The corresponding half-reactions are:
2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻
2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻
Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.
Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.
Answer:
5.6 L
Explanation:
We can apply Charles' Law here since our pressure is constant (will not change inside the refrigerator) and we are relating change in volume with change in temperature:
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ where V₁ and T₁ are initial volume and temperature, and V₂ and T₂ are final volume and temperature. Let's plug in what we know and solve for the unknown:
28.0 L / 25 °C = V₂ / 5 °C => V₂ = 5.6 L
5.6 L is our new volume (at 5 °C).
