An unknown metal forms a soluble compound, M(NO3)2, which then undergoes electrolysis with an applied current of 2.50 amperes. I

f the current is applied for 22.6 min, 1.87 g of metal is deposited. a. Is the metal deposited at the anode or cathode? b. Draw the reaction that occurs at the other electrode, where the metal is NOT being deposited. c. Calculate the molar mass of the metal M. What is the metal? d. Which halogen(s) could react with M to spontaneously oxidize it back to its 2+ cation?

Answer:

The metal is the cathode

The metal is palladium

At the other cathode, the reaction going on is

M(s) ------> M2^+(aq) + 2e

Chlorine can spontaneously react with Pd converting it to Pd^2+

The molar mass of the metal is 106.4 g of M

Explanation:

Given the formula of the compound, M^2+ ion is involved. The equation of the reaction is;

M^2+(aq) + 2e -------------> M(s)

The number of moles of electrons transferred = 2 moles

1 mole of electron = 96500C

And Q= It

Where I= current

t= time taken in seconds

Now;

x g of the metal (its molar mass) is deposited by 2×96500 C

1.87 g of the metal is deposited by (2.50× 22.6×60) C

x = 1.87 × 2×96500/ 2.50 × 22.6 × 60

x= 360910/3390

x= 106.4 g of M

The metal is the cathode

The metal is palladium

At the other cathode, the reaction going on is

M(s) ------> M2^+(aq) + 2e

Chlorine can spontaneously react with Pd converting it to Pd^2+

The use of fertilizers in agriculture has significantly altered several nutrient cycles including:
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

potassium, nitrogen and phosphorous cycle

Explanation:

A fertilizer is a substance which is applied on the plants by farmers to increase the supply of nutrients for the plants. Fertilizers have known to be toxic in many ways such as they alter the potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are present in abundant amounts in the fertilizers. Draining of these fertilizers into rivers and ponds is toxic for the aquatic life. Hence, the use of fertilizers disrupts the natural cycles and is toxic for many aquatic plants and animals.

After standardizing a NaOH solution, you use it to titrate an HCl solution known to have a concentration of 0.203 M. You perform
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.203 is the mean of the concentration of the HCl solution

Explanation:

You have 5 concentrations. The most appropiate result is the mean of those results. The mean is a statistical defined as the sum of each result divided by the total amount of results. For the results of the problem, the mean is:

0.210 + 0.204 + 0.201 + 0.202 + 0.197 = 1.014 / 5 =
