Explanation:
In a voltaic cell, oxidation reaction occurs at anode whereas reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.
Hence, the half-cell reaction taking place at anode and cathode will be as follows.
At anode (Oxidation) : ...... (1)
At cathode (Reduction) :
So, in order to balance the half cell reactions, we multiply reduction reaction by 3. Hence, reduction reaction equation will be as follows.
........ (2)
Therefore, overall reaction will be sum of equations as (1) + (2). Thus, net reaction equation is as follows.
Answer:
a)The force of attraction between particles of gas is negligible. Because of this, particles of gas move in all directions. Thus, a gas fills the vessel completely in which it is kept.
b)Because of negligible force of attraction between particles of gas, the particles of gas have the highest kinetic energy. These properties enable the particles of gas to move in all directions and hit the walls of container from all sides. Because of this a gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container in which it is kept.
c): A wooden table has fixed shape and fixed volume, which are the main characteristics of solid. Thus a wooden table should be called a solid.
Answer:
0.161moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Fe = 18g
Oxygen gas is in excess
Unknown:
Number of moles of Fe₂O₃ produced = ?
Solution:
To start with, let us write a chemically balanced equation before proceeding to understand the nuances of this problem.
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
In the equation above above, 4 mole of iron combined with 3 moles of oxygen gas to 2 moles of Fe₂O₃.
In solving this problem, we can identify that Fe is the limiting reactant since we have been told oxygen gas is in excess. The suggests that the extent to which the product is formed and the reaction proceeds hinges on the amount of Fe we have.
It is best to work from the given, or known reactant to the unknown
The known in this scenario is the mass of Fe. Let us find the number of moles of this specie;
Number of moles of Fe =
Molar mass of Fe = 56g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.32mol
Using this known number of moles of Fe, we can relate it to that of the unknown amount of the product and obtain the number of moles.
4 moles of Fe produced 2 moles of Fe₂O₃
0.32 moles of Fe will produce = 0.161moles
Answer: Fluorine contains seven valence electrons. It needs one more electron to complete its octet. The oxidation number is 1- and indicates fluorine will gain or share one electron when it combines with another atom to become a more stable compound.
