A student was trying to obtain lithium by electrolysis of aqueous lithium chloride. Was he successful?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
6 0

The student was not successful.

Consider the standard reduction potentials.

Li⁺ + e⁻ ⇌ Li;                       E° = -3.04 V

2H₂O + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ + 2OH⁻; E° = -0.83 V

To reduce Li⁺ to Li, the student must apply 3.04 V.

However, it takes only 0.83 V to reduce water to hydrogen.

Thus, the student will get H₂ instead of Li.

<span>An unsaturated solution is one that has a concentration lower than it's solubility. What happens is all of the solute dissolves in the solvent. For example, dumping a spoon of sugar into coffee ends up with an unsaturated solution. Because all the sugar dissolves into the solvent (the coffee).</span>

If the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise, what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The other electron must have anticlockwise spin.

Explanation:

According to the pauli exclusion principle, the two elecrton present in same orbital must have opposite spin.

If the one electron is clockwise the other must be in anti clockwise direction. The clockwise direction is represented by the sign +1/2 while anti clockwise direction is represented by -1/2.

According the pauli principle, the two electrons must have different fourth electronic quantum number. The electron in same orbital have same first three quantum number i.e, n=1 l=0 and ml =0 in case of first subshell.

Use the periodic table to select the element that best fits each of the following descriptions. which element below has properti
xenn [34]

Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)

Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) ,  Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).

Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

To get out the iron filings put everything in to a container and then put the magnet to the side to attract them. Pull them out of the container. Then, I don’t know how to separate the sand and salt. Maybe evaporate the salt? I joke you can figure it out. Best of luck! :)
