Option A is correct answer.

According to octet rule, atoms have tendency to lose, gain and share electrons to complete its octet i.e. eight valence electrons are surrounded to the atom.

Since, sulphur contains six valence electrons and two chlorine atoms are present in the reaction having seven valence electrons. Thus, to complete their octet, chlorine shares a pair of electrons with the sulphur atom.

Jane described two substances which participate in photosynthesis.
Anika [276]

Answer: -

Substance A is carbon dioxide and Substance B is oxygen.

Explanation: -

Photosynthesis reaction involves the process of conversion of light energy of the sun into chemical energy by the green chlorophyll found in plants leaves.

The chemical equation for the process is

6 CO₂ +6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

As we can see Carbon dioxide CO₂ reacts with water H₂O to form glucose. Oxygen is the gaseous product formed.

Thus Substance A is carbon dioxide and Substance B is oxygen.

A. What are the half-reactions for the redox reaction CuCl2 + Zn → ZnCl2 + Cu? Label the oxidation
GenaCL600 [577]

The oxidation half equation is Zn ------> Zn^2+ + 2e while the reduction half equation is Cu^2+  + 2e------> Cu.

A redox reaction is a reaction in which there is a loss/gain of electrons. The specie that gives out electrons experiences an increase in oxidation number while the specie that gains the electrons experiences a decrease in oxidation number.

For the reaction; CuCl2 + Zn → ZnCl2 + Cu

The oxidation half equation is;

Zn ------> Zn^2+ + 2e

The reduction half equation is;

Cu^2+  + 2e------> Cu

The chloride ion is excluded because its oxidation number does not change from left to right in the reaction.

The balanced half-reaction in which chlorine gas is reduced to the aqueous chloride ion is a ________ process. one-electron two-
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Two-electron.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the half-reaction by which chlorine is reduced to aqueous chloride ion is:

Cl^0_2\rightarrow 2Cl^-

We can see each chlorine undergo a decrease of electrons by 1, it means that, since there are two chlorine atoms undergoing an electron decrease, we write:

Cl^0_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl^-

Which means this is a two-electron process.

Best regards!

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - {Br_2}_{(l)}

At cathode - {H_2}_{(g)}

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

{Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}
