An ion is an atom that has a positive or negative charge.

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ION.

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

Answer: The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Sn^{2+}]$ = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})$

$[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ ions is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Compounds formed from only non-metals consist of particles called

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Compounds formed from non-metals consist of molecules.

Explanation:

The atoms in a molecule are joined together by covalent bonds. These bonds form when atoms share pairs of electrons.

Borax (na2b4o7Â·10h2o; fw = 381.372 g/mol; density = 1.73 g/ml), a primary standard, was used to standardize a solution of hno3.

SashulF [63]

0.06355391 mol The balanced equation for the reaction is Na2B4O7*10H2O + 2 HNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O So for each mole of Borax to neutralize, it takes 2 moles of HNO3. Calculate number of moles of Borax 0.2619 g / 381.372 g/mol = 0.0006867 mol Moles of HNO3 used = 0.0006867 mol * 2 = 0.0013734 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter so divide the number of moles used by the volume in liters. So 0.0013734 / 0.02161 = 0.06355391 mol
