Answer:
Water, H2O, is a pure substance, a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Although water is the most abundant substance on earth, it is rarely found naturally in its pure form. Most of the time, pure water has to be created. Pure water is called distilled water or deionized water.
Answer:
SCl₂
Explanation:
In order to know the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass
S: 26.95/32.07 = 0.8403
Cl: 59.61/35.45 = 1.682
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.
S: 0.8403/0.8403 = 1
Cl: 1.682/0.8403 ≈ 2
The empirical formula of the compound is SCl₂.
Answer:
Ok so, b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...
i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced
ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.
iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell
Look up the reduction potential,
E
⁰
red
, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials
Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,
E
⁰
ox
=
-
E
⁰
red
.
iv. What kind of electrochemical cell is this? Explain your answer.
All parts in the electrochemical cells are labeled in second figure. Following are the part in electrochemical cells
1) Anode 2) Cathode 3) gold Stripe (Electrode) 4) Aluminium Glasses (Electrode) 5) Connecting wires 6) Battery
