Doing an experiment about electroplating, you attempt to coat silver in gold using a basic electroplating set-up. You take the m

ass of the silver before and after the experiment. What can you say about the mass of the silver/gold product at the end of the experiment?
a. it’s mass was greater than when it started

b. it’s mass was lower than when it started

Answer:

it’s mass was greater than when it started

Explanation:

When a metal is coated with another metal, the plating metal deposits on the plated metal. Usually, the plating metal functions as the anode while the plated metal functions on the cathode. The anode metal is oxidized and reduced at the cathode and become deposited on the cathode material. This increases the mass of the cathode. Hence the mass of the silver/gold product is greater than the mass of silver at the beginning of the electroplating process.

Explain how electron microscopes work and why some scientists might prefer to use electron microscopes instead of light microsco
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.

Consider the reaction
SOVA2 [1]

Answer :

(a) The average rate will be:

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s

(b) The average rate will be:

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)

The expression for rate of reaction :

\text{Rate of disappearance of }Br^-=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }BrO_3^-=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }H^+=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }H_2O=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

Thus, the rate of reaction will be:

\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

<u>Part (a) :</u>

<u>Given:</u>

\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

As,  

-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

and,

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s

<u>Part (b) :</u>

<u>Given:</u>

\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

As,  

-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

and,

-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{6}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s
