What gas? Gas is an invisible form so I don't see how it would have a "defined structure".
The complete ionization of KBr into its constituents
is:<span>
<span>KBr (s) --->
K+ (aq) + Br- (aq)</span></span>
<span>
During electrolysis, oxidation takes place at the anode electrode. This means
that an ion is stripped off its electron hence becoming more positive:
<span>2 Br- (aq) --->
Br2 (g) + 2e- </span></span>
We can see that Bromine gas Br2 is evolved at the anode.
<span>
<span>Meanwhile at the cathode, the reduction reaction occurs.
Which means that the electron from the anode electrode is used to make an ion
more negative:
<span>2K+ (aq) + 2e- ---> 2K (s) </span></span>
Hence, through reduction, solid potassium is deposited on the
plate.</span>
Half reactions:
<span>Anode: 2 Br- (aq) --->
Br2 (g) + 2e- </span>
<span>Cathode: 2K+ (aq) + 2e-
---> 2K (s) </span>
Answer:
The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.
Explanation:
The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.
If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.
If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.
Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.
Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.
YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.
(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)
