In an electrochemical cell in which the oxidation reaction is nonspontaneous the oxidation will not occur spontaneously at the anode and the reduction will not be spontaneous at the cathode. And according to the law for the calculation of the voltage potential of the electrochemical cell (Ecell):
Ecell = Eox. - Ere. where (Eox. is the potential of the oxidation at the anode and Ere. is the potential of the reduction at the cathode). The standard potential for an electrolytic cell is negative, because of the Ere. which is greater than Eox.
The answer is : less than zero.
Answer:
2.91 grams of Magnesium
Explanation:
I put a picture . I used the molar mass of magnesium which can be calculated from the periodic table or simply google it. :) I hope it helps - Enrique
We know that each millimeter contains 10⁻³ meters. Writing this as a ratio:
1 mm : 10⁻³ m
We require a conversion from m³ to mm³, so we must take the cube of the ratio we have made:
1 mm³ = (10⁻³)³ m³
Therefore, the conversion used will be:
(1 mm / 10⁻³ m)³
When we multiply by this conversion, we will get:
32 m³ = 32 x 10⁹ mm³
Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
