To help, I drew a diagram. This represents an ionic bond between Na and Cl. Na is giving his single electron to Cl, which is indicated by the arrow, to make Cl full with 8 electrons.
Note that we are omitting the water.
So, sodium carbonate will basically dissociate into positive sodium ions and negative carbonate ions based on the following equation:
<span>Na2CO3 → 2 Na(+) + CO3(2-)
</span>
If we took water into consideration:
Sodium carbonate will dissociate in water forming carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide. Since sodium hydroxide is a strong base, therefore, it will then neutralize the gastric acid, thus, acting as an antacid.
Hi!
The correct options would be:
1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>
The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.
2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>
The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.
3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>
Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.
4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>
Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.
Hope this helps!
Answer: C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
Explanation:
2Al + 2O2 → 2AlO + O2 Not Balanced Properly: 2Al + O2 = 2AlO
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O Looks Good
2CH4 + O2 → 2CO + 4H2 Not Correct: CO should be CO2
Ca + O2 → CaOH Not Balanced and No source for the H
