Write the balanced half‑reaction that occurs at the anode in a hydrogen‑oxygen fuel cell in which an acidic electrolyte is used.

A hydrogen fuel cell. H 2 flows into the cell at the negative electrode. O 2 flows into the cell at the positive electrode. Electrons travel through an external circuit from the negative to the positive electrode. Between the two electrodes is an electrolyte solution. Arrows in the electrolyte point from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. anode half-reaction: Write the balanced half‑reaction that occurs at the cathode in a hydrogen‑oxygen fuel cell in which an acidic electrolyte is used. cathode half-reaction: Write the balanced overall cell reaction. overall cell reaction:

Answer:

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ +4e--------> 2H20

Anode: 2H2 -4e- ---------> 4H+

Overall: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Explanation:

A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is an alternative cell to rechargeable cells and batteries. In this cell, hydrogen and oxygen is used to produce voltage and water is the only byproduct.

At the cathode (positive electrode):

O2 + 4H+ +4e--------> 2H2O

At the anode (negative electrode);

2H2 -4e- ---------> 4H+

Adding the two half reactions we have:

2H2 + O2 + 4H+ + 4e-  ----------->  2H2O + 4H + 4e-

The overall reaction after cancelling out the like terms in the reaction is:

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --------> 2H2O (l)

Calculate to three significant digits the density of chlorine pentafluoride gas at exactly and exactly . You can assume chlorine
slega [8]

Answer:

Density is 6.16g/L

Explanation:

<em>... at exactly -15°C and exactly 1atm...</em>

<em />

Using general gas law:

PV = nRT

We can find density (Ratio of mass and volume) in an ideal gas as follows:

P/RT = n/V

<em>To convert moles to grams we need to multiply the moles with Molar Weight, MW:</em>

n*MW = m

n = m/MW

P/RT = m/V*MW

P*MW/RT = m/V

<em>Where P is pressure: 1atm;</em>

<em>MW of chlorine pentafluoride: 130.445g/mol</em>

<em>R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>And T is absolute temperature: -15°C+273.15 = 258.15K</em>

<em />

Replacing:

P*MW/RT = m/V

1atm*130.445g/mol / 0.082atmL/molK*258.15K = m/V

6.16g/L = m/V

<h3>Density of the gas is 6.16g/L</h3>
