Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : $Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s)$ ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

When bridges are built, special joints must be used because the material of the bridge shrinks, and without these joints, the ma

marysya [2.9K]

Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

An experiment reveals that 125.0 grams of an unknown metal increases in temperature from 22.0 oC to 43.6 oC upon absorbing 640 j

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

Q = m Cp ΔT ----- (1)

Where;

Q = Heat = 640 J

m = mass = 125 g

Cp = Specific Heat Capacity = <u>??</u>

ΔT = Change in Temperature = 43.6 °C - 22 °C = 21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

Cp = Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

Cp = 640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Which compound does not form a precipitate when reacted with sodium hydroxide?

Alla [95]

Answer:

NaNO₃

Explanation:

A precipitate is a compound or a salt formed from a precipitation reaction and does not dissolve in water and therefore will exist in solid state.

From the choices given precipitation reaction will occur between;

Fe(NO₃)₃(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3NaNO₃(aq)
Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)
FeSO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Fe(OH)₃, Cu(OH)₂, and Fe(OH)₂ are precipitates.

From the rules of solubility, hydroxides are insoluble except Ca(OH)₂ which is slightly soluble and hydroxides of ammonium and alkali metals.
