The balanced reaction is
Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2
Here this reaction can be compared with
A + BC ---> AB + C
So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion
So this single displacement
Similarly in the given reaction
the anion OH- is only being replaced
The element Ca accepts OH- and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2
So the correct answer is
Single replacement also known as single displacement
The answer is 111g of calcium chloride
Answer:
a. -0.63 V
b. No
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
- Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V
Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode
The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:
E°cell > 0.70 V [1]
We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.
E°cell = E°cat - E°an [2]
If we combine [1] and [2], we get,
E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V
E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an
E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)
E°cat > -0.63 V
The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.
