Given the balanced equation representing a reaction occurring in an electrolytic cell:

Chemistry

Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Answer : The correct option is, (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs

Explanation :

Electrolytic cell : It is the cell in which the chemical reaction occurs by passing of the current from external source.

In this electrolytic cell, the oxidation occurs at anode that is a positive electrode and reduction occurs at cathode that is a negative electrode.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2NaCl(l)\rightarrow 2Na(l)+Cl_2(g)

On passing electricity in the molten NaCl, Na and chlorine gas are obtained at cathode and anode respectively.

The half-cell reaction are :

At cathode : 2Na^+2e^-\rightarrow 2Na    (Reduction)

At anode : 2Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2+2e^-    (Oxidation)

Hence, from this we conclude that, Na(l) produced in the cell at the cathode, where reduction occurs.

The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.

Rashid [163]
<span>Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation
Alik [6]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A). synthesizes more sugar

B). has a higher chromosome count

C). produces fewer proteins

D). uses less carbon dioxide

The answer is A

Explanation:

The chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of photosynthetic organisms. It is the site where photosynthesis, which is the production of food (sugars) from sunlight energy, occurs.

According to this question, a cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of the same corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that the LEAF CELLS WILL SYNTHESIZE MORE SUGARS THAN THE STEM CELL because the more the chloroplast, the higher the photosynthetic rate and subsequently the higher the amount of sugar produced.

Explain why 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Butane gas (C4H10) burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Balance the equation for this reaction (in
bixtya [17]

Answer:

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

Butane gas (C₄H₁₀) burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. The unbalanced equation is:

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we will balance carbon and hydrogen which are in just one compound on each side.

C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Finally, we will balance the oxygen atoms.

C₄H₁₀(g) + 6.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

In order to have integers, we will multiply everý compound by 2.

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)
