Oxygen had been produced by several chemists prior to its discovery in 1774, but they failed to recognize it as a distinct element. Joseph Priestley and Carl Wilhelm Scheele both independently discovered oxygen, but Priestly is usually given credit for the discovery. They were both able to produce oxygen by heating mercuric oxide (HgO). Priestley called the gas produced in his experiments 'dephlogisticated air' and Scheele called his 'fire air'. The name oxygen was created by Antoine Lavoisier who incorrectly believed that oxygen was necessary to form all acids.

Answer:

As for your question, I know to forget to put the options, specifically that your question is incomplete.

Explanation:

Although it could help you by telling you that always a reaction that seeks to balance the pH, and achieve neutrality ... It is necessary to achieve a concentration of OH equal to that of H +, in this way the hydroxyl and the protons.

purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode
stiv31 [10]

The chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as cr³⁺ will take 6.19 hours  will it take to plate 18.0 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 45.0 A.

It is given that mass is 18 kg. Converting mass into grams

18 x (1000g / 1 kg)

= 18000 g

So, 18 kg = 18000 g

Now, calculate the number of moles

No. of moles = mass of Cr / molecular mass of Cr

No. of moles = 18000 / 52 g/mole

No. of moles = 346.15 mole

For , Cr³⁺, 3 moles of electrons are required

Hence,

3 x 346.15 mole

1038.45

As 96500 C of charge are present in 1 mole of electrons. As a result, the charge held by 1038.45 mole of electrons will be determined as follows.

= 1038.45mol x  96500 C / mole

= 10.02 x 10⁷ C

As, we know that relation between charge, current and time is as follows.

Q = I x T

Current is given as 45 A

Therefore, charge is calculated  

T = Q / I

T = 100.21 x 10⁶ / 45

T = 2.227 x 10⁶

As there are 3600 seconds in one 1 hour. Converting 2.227 x 10⁶ into hours are

= 2.227 x 10⁶ / 3600 sec/h

= 6.19 hours

Thus, if the current flowing through the cell is maintained constant at 45 A, we may estimate that it will take 6.19 hours to plate 18 kg of chromium onto the cathode.
