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)

Discuss the significance of assigning an atomic mass of exactly 12 amu to the carbon-12 isotope.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Cabon-12 has same average atomic weight and mass number.

Explanation:

carbon-12 has average atomic weight 12 amu and mass number of 12.

amu represents average of mass of a nucleon.

As carbon-12 has same average atomic mass and mass number therefore carbon-12 is a good standard to determine average mass of a nucleon.

Again, abundance of carbon-12 isotope is almost equal to 99%. Therefore fluctuation of average atomic weight from 12 amu is very very low.

So, carbon-12 is taken as a standard to determine mass of a nucleon.

Hence atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu.

How many grams of C6H12O6 are needed to be dissolved in water to make 100. grams of a 250. ppm solution?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.025 g C6H12O6

Explanation:

ppm = (g solute/ g solution)* 10^6

g solute= (ppm * g solution)/ 10^6

g solute = (250 ppm * 100 g)/10^6

g solute=0.025 g C6H12O6
