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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]4 years ago
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.

A) What characteristics of physical properties distinguish metals from nonmetals?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Metals: are shiny, malleable and ductile, they can conduct electricity and heat,  form cations in aqueous solutions.

Nonmetals: non-lustrous, brittle, not good conductors of heat and electricity, form anions in aqueous solutions.

b)

Metals are located in the left side of the periodic table

Nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table.

c)

Metal are use to make pans because they are good conductors of heat and also are malleable and ductile.

Nonmetals are used to make sleeping bags and coolers because they do not conduct heat so they can isolate matter.

8. The standard enthalpy of formation of RbF(s) is –557.7kJ/mol and the standard enthalpy of formation of RbF(aq, 1 m) is –583.8
garri49 [273]

Explanation:

Given

The enthalpy of formation of RbF (s) is –557.7kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of RbF (aq, 1 m) is –583.8 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of solution of RbF = Enthalpy of RbF (aq) - Enthalpy of formation of RbF (s)

= -583.8 - (-557.7)  kJ/mol

= -26.1 kJ/mol

The enthalpy is negative which means that the temperature will rise when RbF is dissolved.

If you were to react 4.3 miles of magnesium phosphide how many moles of potassium would you need?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

25.8

Explanation:

Let's write the reaction between magnesium-phosphide and potassium:

Mg3P2 + K = Mg + K3P

And now let's balance this equation:

Mg3P2+6K=3Mg+2K3P

We see that the ratio of magnesium-phosphide and potassium is 1:6, which means that for every mole of magnesium-phosphide there need to be 6 moles of potassium.

Since we have 4.3 moles of Mg3P2, there need to be 6 • 4.3 = 25.8 moles of potassium.

What is reduction potential?​
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A reduction potential measures the tendency of a molecule to be reduced by taking up new electrons. ... Standard reduction potentials can be useful in determining the directionality of a reaction. The reduction potential of a given species can be considered to be the negative of the oxidation potential.
