An acid has several definitions one would be that it is a proton donor and an electron donor. Also, it said to produce an H+ ion when in solution. For nitric acid in solution, it dissociates into ions which are NO- ions and H+ ions. So, it must be an acid. It has a dissociation reaction:
HNO3 = H+ + NO3-
Answer:
Cathode: Ag
Anode: Br₂
Explanation:
In the cathode must occur a reduction, so it's more likely to a metal atom be in the cathode. For the metals given the reduction reactions and the potential of reduction are:
Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag⁰ E° = + 0.80 V
Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁰ E° = - 0.44 V
Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al⁰ E° = -1.66 V
As the potential for Ag is the higher, the reduction will occur for it first, so in the cathode will produce Ag.
For the anode an oxidation must occurs, so the reactions for the nonmetals are:
F₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2F⁻ E° = +2.87 V
Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Cl⁻ E° = +1.36 V
Br₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Br⁻ E° = +1.07 V
For oxidation, the less the E°, the faster the reaction will occur, so Br₂ will be formed in the anode.
The volume of water that will be produced from the reaction will be 6.3 mL
<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>
From the equation of the reaction:
The mole ratio of hydrogen sulfate to sodium hydroxide is 1:2.
Mole of hydrogen sulfate = 0.50 x 350/1000 = 0.175 moles
Mole of 15 grams sodium hydroxide = 15/40 = 0.375 moles
Thus, hydrogen sulfide is the limiting reagent.
Mole ratio of hydrogen sulfide to water = 1:2.
Equivalent mole of water = 0.175 x 2 = 0.35 moles
Mass of 0.35 moles of water = 0.35 x 18 = 6.3 grams.
1 gram of water = 1 ml.
Thus, 6.3 grams of water will be equivalent to 6.3 mL

#SPJ1
Both trials of 1.2 g and 1.6 g will have the same mass percent of water because the ratio of the salt to the water of hydration is always constant for any hydrated salt.
<h3>Water of hydration</h3>
For every hydrated salt, the ratio of the salt to the water of hydration remains constant irrespective of the amount of salt taken for experimental analysis.
For example, assuming the mass percent of water in 10g of a hydrated salt is 40%, if 100g of the same salt is taken, the mass percent will remain 40%.
