Answer:

1) reduction

2) zero

Explanation:

Let us look at the definition of oxidation and reduction in a nutshell.

Oxidation is electron loss(oxidation number is increased)

Reduction is electron gain(oxidation number is decreased)

With the above definitions in mind let us look again at the equation in question 1:

Br2 + 2e- → 2Br-

We can see that the bromine molecule gained two electrons. Oxidation number decreased from zero on the left hand side of the reaction equation to -1 on the right hand side of the reaction equation hence the equation represents a reduction half equation.

For question 2, silver was displaced from its salt. On the left hand side of the reaction equation, silver had an oxidation number of +2. But remember than one of the riles for determining oxidation number of species is that the oxidation number of an uncombined element is zero. Hence, the oxidation number of silver element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is zero.

Calculate the electrical energy per gram of anode material for the following reaction at 298 K:

solmaris [256]

43.8 kJ

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?

The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.

Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, n, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.

Let $w_\text{max}$ represents the electrical energy produced.

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E_\text{cell}$ , where

n is the number of moles electrons transferred,
F is the Faraday's constant,
E $_\text{cell}$ is the cell potential,

n = 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

F = 96.486 kJ / ( $\text{V} \cdot \text{mol} \; \text{e}^{-}$ ).

Therefore,

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E\\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 0.144 \times 96.486 \times 3.15 \\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 43.8 \; \text{kJ}$ .

Is there a phobia for chemical reactions specifically?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

chemonoia

Explanation:

Many people have a strong fear of “chemicals” that belies the evidence. It's called chemonoia – and it may be damaging their health. If you were paranoid, you might think there really was something in the water that's damaged our sense of reason.

What is Gay lussac's law

k0ka [10]

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when the volume is kept constant. Mathematically, it can be written as: {\displaystyle {\frac {P}{T}}=k}. It is a special case of the ideal gas law.
