An electrolytic cell is based upon a nonspontaneous reaction; the Eocell for the reaction is _____.

1 answer:

6 0

In an electrochemical cell in which the oxidation reaction is nonspontaneous the oxidation will not occur spontaneously at the anode and the reduction will not be spontaneous at the cathode. And according to the law for the calculation of the voltage potential of the electrochemical cell (Ecell):

Ecell = Eox. - Ere. where (Eox. is the potential of the oxidation at the anode and Ere. is the potential of the reduction at the cathode). The standard potential for an electrolytic cell is negative, because of the Ere. which is greater than Eox.

The answer is : less than zero.

Write a balanced equation for the double-replacement neutralization reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coef

g100num [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Double-displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place. The general equation representing this reaction follows:

$AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD$

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of barium hydroxide and perchloric acid follows:

$Ba(OH)_2(aq.)+2HClO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of barium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of perchloric acid to produce 1 mole of barium chlorate and 2 moles of water molecule.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is given above.
