If the electrolyte contains chemical species that will be reduced at the cathode or oxidized at the anode (or both), that means chemical change.  The electrolyte can form one or more compounds or ionic species that weren't there before.   
<span> A given species could form at one </span>electrode<span> but diffuse back over to the other electrode where it promptly breaks back up into its reactants. </span>

<span>If the electrolyte does not participate in any reaction(s), it will just act as a conductor of electricity.  The same goes for the electrodes.  Some materials will react but will not produce anything obvious (gases, precipitates, or color changes).  Others will not react at all under the specific combinations of voltage and current. </span>

Masja [62]
At the point when a response achieves a condition of concoction balance under a specific arrangement of conditions, no further changes in the groupings of reactants and items happen. On the off chance that a change is made in the conditions under which the framework is at harmony, substance change will happen so as to build up another balance. The components that can impact harmony are an adjustment in focus, change in weight (or volume), and change in temperature.

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle
Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of 4.71\times 10^{-15}J . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.624\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of beta particle = 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg

E_k = kinetic energy of the particle = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

You can calculate the excess reactant by subtracting the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of reagent given therefore,
The answer: Theoretical yield is 121.60 g of NH₃
Excess reactant is H₂
Rate limiting reactant is N₂
explanation: 100 g of Nitrogen
100 g of hydrogen
We are required to identify the theoretical yield of the reaction, the excess reactant and the rate limiting reagent.
We first write the equation for the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen;
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
From the reaction 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of Hydrogen gas.
Secondly we determine the moles of nitrogen gas given and hydrogen gas given;
Moles of Nitrogen gas
Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0 g/mol
Moles of Nitrogen gas = 100 g ÷ 28 g/mol 3.57 moles
Moles of Hydrogen gas
Molar mass of Hydrogen gas = 2.02 g/mol
Moles = 100 g ÷ 2.02 g/mol
= 49.50 moles
From the mole ratio given by the equation, 1 mole of nitrogen requires 3 moles of Hydrogen gas.
Thus, 3.57 moles of Nitrogen gas requires (3.57 × 3) 10.71 moles of Hydrogen gas.
This means, Nitrogen gas is the rate limiting reagent and hydrogen gas is the excess reactant.
Third calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction.
1 mole of nitrogen reacts to from 2 moles of ammonia gas
Therefore;
Moles of ammonia gas produced = Moles of nitrogen × 2
= 3.57 moles × 2
= 7.14 moles
But; molar mass of Ammonia gas is = 17.03 g/mol
Therefore;
Mass of ammonia gas produced = 7.14 moles × 17.03 g/mol
= 121.59 g
= 121.60 g
Thus, the theoretical amount of ammonia gas produced is 121.60 g
