The balanced half-cell equation for the reaction occurring at the anode is  H2 ---> 2H(+) + 2e(-)

E<u>xplanation:</u>

  • The balanced half-cell equation taking place at the anode is explained below
  • The product produced in the reaction in the fuel cell is water.
  • H2 ---> 2H(+) + 2e(-)
  • In the above reaction, the oxidation state of hydrogen switches from 0 to +1.
  • It is becoming oxidized by delivering two electrons at the anode.
  • In the fuel cell, hydrogen molecules get oxidized to hydronium ions.Thus half-reaction is the oxidation reaction.

2) Give the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of IF5. A) 0 lone pairs, square pyramidal D)
zysi [14]

Answer: D) 1 lone pair, square pyramidal

Explanation:

Formula used  : \text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  = 7

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 5

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion  = 0

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the IF_5  molecule.

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [7+5+0-0]=6

Bond pair electrons = 5

Lone pair electrons = 6-5 = 1

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be sp^3d^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral .

But as there are five atoms around the central iodine atom, the sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square pyramidal.

The two isotopes of chlorine are 3517Cl and 3717Cl. Which isotope is the most abundant?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

  • The most abundant isotope is ³⁵Cl₁₇.
  • Since the average atomic mass of Cl is 35.45 g/mole, so the most abundant one is that one near this number, ³⁵Cl₁₇.
  • ³⁵Cl₁₇ is found by 75 % and ³⁷Cl₁₇ is found by 25 % by a ratio 3:1.

The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.
