Consider a cobalt-silver voltaic cell that is constructed such that one half-cell consists of the cobalt, Co, electrode immersed

in a Co(NO3)3 solution, and the other half-cell consists of the silver, Ag, electrode immersed in a AgNO3 solution. The two electrodes are connected by a copper wire. The Co electrode acts as the anode, and the Ag electrode acts as the cathode. To maintain electric neutrality, you add a KNO3 salt bridge separating the two half-cells. Use this information to solve Parts B, C, and D.
A. The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell is the site of the reduction reaction.
Type the half-cell reaction that takes place at the anode for the cobalt-silver voltaic cell. Indicate the physical states using the abbreviation (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aq) for an aqueous solution. Do not forget to add electrons in your reaction.
B. The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of an oxidation reaction and the other half-cell is the site of a reduction reaction.
Type the half-cell reaction that takes place at the cathode for the cobalt-silver voltaic cell. Indicate physical states using the abbreviation (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aq) for an aqueous solution. Do not forget to add electrons in your reaction.

Answer:

Anode half reaction;

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

Cathode half reaction;

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

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that spontaneously produces electrical energy from chemical reactions. A voltaic cell comprises of an anode (where oxidation occurs) and a cathode (where reduction occurs). The both electrodes are connected with a wire . A salt bridge ensures charge neutrality in the anode and cathode compartments. Electrons flow from anode to cathode.

For the cell referred to in the question;

Anode half reaction;

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

Cathode half reaction;

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

What is the number of moles of potassium chloride present in 148 g of kcl?
OLga [1]
The number of moles of one substance given the amount in mass can be calculated by the use of the molar mass. This is the mass of a compound per 1 mol of the said substance. For, KCl the molar mass is 74.55 g/ mol

148 g / 74.55 g/mol = 2 mol KCl

Hope this answers the question. have a nice day.

How many U.S. gallons are there in a cubic mile? The total proven oil reserves of the U.S. are roughly 30 x 10°bbl. How many cub
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1 cubic mile = 1.101 * 10^12 US gallons

1 US bbl oil = 42 US gallons = 3.8143*10^ -11 cubic miles

Explanation:

The number of the exponent of the oil reserve is not very well shown in the question so, I provide you the conversion of bbl oil into cubic mile, the only thing you have to do is multiply the number of bbls of the reserve for the conversion in cubic miles and you'll have the answer.
