suppose you have a solution that might contain any or all of the following cations: Cu2+, Ag+,Ba2+ and Mn2+. The addition of HBr

causes a precipitate form. after the precipitate is separated by filtration, H2SO4 is added to the supernatant liquid, and another precipitate forms.

The solution formed a precipitate when HBr is added. This indicates that the cation present would be silver ion(Ag^{+}) as silver forms an insoluble precipitate with bromide ion.

The equation representing the formation of silver bromide precipitate is:

Ag^{+}(aq)+HBr(aq)-->AgBr(s)+H^{+}(aq)

Bromides of all the other cations,Cu^{2+},Ag^{+},Ba^{2+},Mn^{2+}are soluble in aqueous solutions.

After removing the precipitate of AgBr by filtration, the supernatant solution is treated with H_{2}SO_{4}and another precipitate forms. This would be due to the presence of Ba^{2+}ions as barium sulfate is an insoluble precipitate.

The equation representing the formation of barium sulfate precipitate is:

Ba^{2+}(aq)+H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->BaSO_{4}(s)+2H^{+}(aq)

Of the given cations, only Ag+ forms both an insoluble bromide and sulfate, leading to precipitatoin; therefore, the ion present must be Ag+.

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.

How many moles are in 9.50 x 1022 molecules of CO? Be sure to ALL work below and report your answer using the correct number of
eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.158 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know;

1 mole of a compound = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO will be equivalent to;

= 9.50 x 10^22 molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

= 0.158 moles

Therefore, the number of moles are 0.158 moles
