Answer:

  • aqueous LiBr → hydrogen gas
  • molten LiBr → solid lithium
  • Aqueous AgBr → solid silver
  • molten AgBr → solid silver

Explanation:

Electrolysis is a process in which an electric current is passed through an electrolyte in an electrolytic cell. The electrolyte maybe in <em>aqueous form or in molten state. </em>The electrolyte is an ionic compound, so during electrolysis, the anions move towards anode while the cations move towards the cathode. Oxidation takes place at the anode. While reduction takes place at the cathode.

In the molten form, only the constituent ions are present to be oxidized or reduced. Thus, in electrolysis of molten LiBr, lithium is reduced at the cathode and bromine is oxidized at the anode.

Li^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Li(s)

Solid Lithium is produced at the cathode

Similarly, solid Silver is produced at the cathode during electrolysis of molten AgBr:

Ag^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Ag(s)

However, in aqueous form, H_{2} O ions and LiBr ions compete with each other. Since H+ has a greater standard redox potential than lithium,H+ will be reduced at the cathode to produce hydrogen gas

2H^{+}(aq) + 2e^{-} → H_{2}(g)

Similarly,in aqueous AgBr, Ag will be produced at the cathode because the standard redox potential for Ag+ is higher than H+ .

Ag^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Ag(s)

How many protons z and how many neutrons n are there in a nucleus of the most common isotope of silicon, 2814si?
zheka24 [161]
The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14

What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements? A the number of
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

B = the number of protons

Explanation:

The atom of every elements differ from each other because of number of protons they have.

Every atom consist of neutron, proton and electron. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron.

The number of neutrons may be same but every atom have different number of protons.

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
