Which of the following decomposition reactions is/are correct?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The generalized reaction for chemical decomposition is: AB → A + B

NaOH is sodium hydroxide. When sodium and water is combined it makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen

When sodium hydroxide decomposes under thermal decomposition, it breaks down into sodium oxide and water.

Thus, </span><span>C) 2NaOH Na2O + H2O</span>

For the Zn - Cu^2+ voltaic cell Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq, 1M) + Cu(s) E degree _cell = 1.10 V Given that the standard reduction potentia

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

Explanation :

Here, copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

To calculate the $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.10V=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-(-0.76V)$

$E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

Hence, the value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

What is an ion? What are the two ways in which an ion can be made?

denpristay [2]

Answer: Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the ...

How do isotopes of an atom differ? how are they the same?

otez555 [7]

Answer: Isotopes of an atom are different because they have different atomic masses and different number of neutrons within their nucleus. They are the same since they will always have the same atomic number/number of protons in their nucleus.
