Answer:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Oxidized: Cd
Reduced: Ag
Explanation:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ Half reaction oxidation
1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag Half reaction reduction
Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0
Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2
Let's ballance the electrons
( Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ ) .1
( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2
Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺ → 2Ag + Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻
Finally the ballance equation is:
Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)
The basic building block of matter is the atom.
Explanation:
Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).
Molality is the number of moles of solutes in 1 kg of solvent.
the molality of solution to be prepared is 2.0 molal.
therefore 2 moles in 1 kg water.
the mass of Li₂S required is - 46 g/mol x 2.0 mol = 92 g
the mass in 1 kg of solvent is - 92 g
Therefore mass of Li₂S required in 1600.0 g is - 92 g/kg x 1.6 kg = 147.2 g
