AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.
Answer:
Sulfur hexafluoride, also known as sulfur(VI) fluoride, is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is SF6. It contains sulfur in its +6 oxidation state.
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference AT
is Q = mC,AT
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C, = 4.18J/gºC
is the specific heat capacity of water
AT = 71°C -18°C = 530
is the decrease of temperature of the water
Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q = (4329)(4.18J/9°C)(53°C) = 9.57. 104J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.
