Answer: No
Explanation: For it to be a divergent boundary, the arrows would have to be pointing in opposite directions. (one points left, one points right).
Normally, you would call this a saturated solution.<span />
According to the reaction equation:
and by using ICE table:
CN- + H2O ↔ HCN + OH-
initial 0.08 0 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.08-X) X X
so from the equilibrium equation, we can get Ka expression
when Ka = [HCN] [OH-]/[CN-]
when Ka = Kw/Kb
= (1 x 10^-14) / (4.9 x 10^-10)
= 2 x 10^-5
So, by substitution:
2 x 10^-5 = X^2 / (0.08 - X)
X= 0.0013
∴ [OH] = X = 0.0013
∴ POH = -㏒[OH]
= -㏒0.0013
= 2.886
∴ PH = 14 - POH
= 14 - 2.886 = 11.11
Answer:
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
Explanation:
Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)
In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:
Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.
The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.
Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:
Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2
2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)
Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:
2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
