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

Chemistry

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.

What properties can be used to identify substance and why?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

All substances can be characterized by their unique sets of physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.

A student heats 2.796g of zinc powder with 2.414g of sulphur.He reported that he obtained 4.169g of zinc sulfide and recover 1.0
Sati [7]

Answer:

The mass of reactants and products are equal hence the reaction obeys law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The law of mass conservation states that for a closed system to all transfer of mass, the mass of system must remain constant over time. This means for a chemical reaction, the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.

if 2.796g of Zn reacts with 2.414g of sulphur to produce 4.169g of ZnS ad 1.041g of unreacted sulphur, then it means that accorfing to the law of mass conservation, the mass of reactants (zinc and sulphur), must be equal to mass of products (zinc sulfide and unreacted sulphur)

Mass of reactants = 2.796g + 2.414g =5.21g

Mass of products = 4.169g + 1.041g=5.21g

In the reaction N2O4(g) 2NO2(g), what changes in color would you expect as pressure is increased at constant temperature?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Brown color of the solution decreases

Explanation:

NO_2 is brown in color whereas N_2O_4 is colorless.

Equilibrium reaction between NO_2 and N_2O_4 is as follows:

2NO_2\leftrightharpoons N_2O_4

As per the Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure of a equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction having fewer no. of moles of gases.

In the given equilibrium, NO_2 side has more no. of moles. So on increasing pressure, equilibrium will shift towards the side of N_2O_4 or more formation of N_2O_4 will take place.

Therefore, more NO_2 will decompose that will decrease the brown color of the solution as N_2O_4 is colorless.
