r-ruslan [8.4K]2 years ago
7 0

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.

the temperature of a sample of water increases from 20celsius to 46.6celsius as it absorbs 5650 J of heat. what is the mass of t
Levart [38]

Answer:

m = 50.74 kg

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature of water is 20 degrees Celsius

Final temperature of water is 46.6 degrees Celsius

Heat absorbed is 5650 J

It is required to find the mass of the sample. The heat absorbed is given by the formula ad follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is specific heat of water, c = 4.186 J/g°C

So,

m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{5650}{4.186\times (46.6-20)}\\\\m=50.74\ kg

So, the mass of the sample is 50.74 kg.

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium \rm Na atom and a chlorine \rm Cl atom: \rm Na + Cl \to NaCl.

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, \rm Na^{+}. The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion \rm Cl^{-}.

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium \rm Na atom transferred an electron to the chlorine \rm Cl atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt \rm NaCl is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-} ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

The concentrated sulfuric acid we use in the laboratory is 98.0% sulfuric acid by weight. Calculate the molality and molarity of
timama [110]

Answer : The molarity and molality of the solution is, 18.29 mole/L and 499.59 mole/Kg respectively.

Solution : Given,

Density of solution = 1.83g/cm^3=1.83g/ml

Molar mass of sulfuric acid (solute) = 98.079 g/mole

98.0 % sulfuric acid by mass means that 98.0 gram of sulfuric acid is present in 100 g of solution.

Mass of sulfuric acid (solute) = 98.0 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute = 100 - 98.0 = 2 g

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.83g/ml}=54.64ml

Now we have to calculate the molarity of solution.

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{volume of solution}}=\frac{98.0g\times 1000}{98.079g/mole\times 54.64ml}=18.29mole/L

Now we have to calculate the molality of the solution.

Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}=\frac{98.0g\times 1000}{98.079g/mole\times 2g}=499.59mole/Kg

Therefore, the molarity and molality of the solution is, 18.29 mole/L and 499.59 mole/Kg respectively.

2CO + O2 --&gt; 2CO2
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

10 L of CO₂.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2CO + O₂ —> 2CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 L of CO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 10 L CO. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 L of CO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.

Therefore, 10 L of CO will also react to produce 10 L of CO₂.

Thus, 10 L of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.
