Answer:
1.The electrode on the right is positive
2. 0.058V
Explanation:
The above cell is a concentration cell.
A concentration cell is an electrolytic cell that is made of two half-cells with the same electrodes, but differs in concentrations of the solutions. A concentration cell functions by diluting the more concentrated solution and concentrating the more dilute solution, creating a voltage as the cell reaches an equilibrium thereby transferring the electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration.
In the above cell, electrons flow from the left electrode (less concentrated) to the right electrode (more concentrated). Therefore, the right electrode is the positive electrode (cathode).
Part 2: Please, see the attachment below for the calculations.
Answer:
Methane is a covalent bond. Methane is a chemical compound from the bonding one carbon atom and for hydrogen atoms. Although electronegativity increases as you go right of the periodic table, hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20. Chlorine has an electronegativity of 2.55. There difference in electron negativity (0.34). Therefore it is a non polar compound. If there difference was much greater, than they would form a ionic bond. Alkali metals tend to form the most ionic bond, but although hyrdogen is placed with them, it has a higher electronegativity so hydrogen is an exception.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so it will want to gain 4 more electrons to become stable (Octet rule). Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, so it will want to lose it to become stable. Therefore, one carbon atom takes 1 electrons from 4 hydrogen atoms.
