The copper and aluminum electrodes are connected in a battery.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
5 0

a. Which is the anode?

Al is more reactive than the Cu, because the reduction potential of Al is -1.676 V, so would turn to ions easily hence it would give electrons and form a cation and so it will be the anode.

 

b. Which is oxidized?

Copper is the cathode, because of its reduction potential +0.34 V, which has a higher affinity for electrons and so it will be the oxidizing agent which means the Al is oxidized.  

c. What will the battery voltage be?

The voltage of the battery we can be calculated by using the reduction potentials of both elements:

E°battery = E°cathode - E°anode = E°Cu - E°Al = 0.34 - (-1.676) = 2.016 V

The cell have a spontaneous reaction because the voltage has a positive sign.

d. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction that takes place.  

Al + 3 Cu⁺ ----> Al³⁺ + 3 Cu

The order of a reaction Z1) is the product of the powers to which the reactant concentrations are raised in the rate law. Z2) ca
irinina [24]

Explanation:

The Order of Reaction refers to the power dependence of the rate on the concentration of each reactant.

The overall order of reaction is the sum of the individual orders of reaction with respect to the reactants.

Rate = k [A]²[B]¹

In the rate law above, the rate is second order with respect to A and first order with respect to B. The overall order of reaction is a third order reaaction given as; 2+ 1 = 3

What is atom?????????????
kiruha [24]

Answer:

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. ... The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons. A proton is positively charged.

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
