<em>The cathode is Y</em>

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Electrolysis uses electrical energy to carry out redox reactions that are not spontaneous.

The ions in the solution flowing electrically will move towards to opposite charge of the electrode

The electrolysis material is an electrolyte which can be a solution or a melt.

In positive pole electrolysis cells - the anode is the site of the oxidation reaction, while the negative pole - the cathode is the reduction reaction site.

The result of the reaction in the anode is based on a substance that easily oxidized while the reaction in the cathode is based on a substance that easily reduced.

Electrons (electricity) enter an electrolysis cell through the negative pole (cathode)

The negative ion from the solution will move towards the positive electrode and release the electrons around the positive electrode (oxidation) and the electrons flow to the negative pole

Whereas around the negative electrode, there is electron binding and a reduction reaction occurs

So if we see the picture the cathode is Y

Find the percent composition of C7H5N3O6
Oksana_A [137]

Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.

First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.

7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077

5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04

3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021

6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994

Add all of those pieces together.

84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.

Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %

Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %

Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %

Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %

You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.

Chemistry check please... Thank you!
I am Lyosha [343]
1) We apply the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
n = (21300 x 3/1000) / (8.314 x 323)
n = 0.024
Your answer is correct.

2) Total pressure = Partial pressure of Hydrogen + Partial pressure of water
134.7  = 122.4 + Pw
Pw = 12.3 kPa
Your answer is correct

3) The molar fraction, volume fraction and pressure fraction of gasses are the same thing.
Thus, percentage pressure of Oxygen = 10%
Pressure of Oxygen = 2.04 x 10⁴ x 0.1
= 2.04 x 10³ kPa
Your answer is correct

Well done!
