Answer: The anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

Explanation: The Anode of the voltaic cell is the electrode on which the process of oxidation takes place.

Oxidation is the process in which highly reactive metal which is higher in the electrochemical series loses electrons which goes into the solution.

Thus The anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

For eg- In a reaction cell of Copper-Iron, Iron(Fe) will get oxidized because it is placed higher in the electrochemical series whereas Copper(Cu) will get reduced.

When a 14.2-g sample of mercury (II) oxide is decomposed into its elements by heating, 13.2 g Hg is obtained. What is the percen

nevsk [136]

Mercury (ii) oxide is made up of mercury and oxygen. The total mass of mercury (ii) oxide is 14.2 g, after decomposition 13.2 g of mercury were formed, therefore the mass of oxygen 1 g (14.2 g -13.2 g).
Percentage of oxygen = (1/14.2)×100 = 7.04%
Percentage of mercury = (13.2/14.2) × 100 = 92.96%
Therefore, percentage composition of the compound, oxygen is 7.04% and mercury is 92.96%.

What does it mean when a reaction is spontaneous apex?

natima [27]

A reaction that is spontaneous means that it can produce products without the supply of energy. The total energy from the reactants reached the activation energy that allow the reaction proceed. An example of this is the decay of a diamond into graphite occuring readily.
