Which half reaction can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell

Chemistry
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
3 0

Oxidation is the half reaction that can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell.

Explanation:

In electrodes which is metal strip in voltaic cell the reactions occurs. The two electrodes placed one in each half-cell. The reduction reaction occurs at cathode and oxidation occurs at anode.

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction. Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions.

In an oxidation half reaction, an atom loses electron(s). When an element is oxidized it loses a specific number of electrons.

As the temperature of a liquid increases, the solubility of a gas in the liquid
RoseWind [281]
The correct answer is B. Solubility describes the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent. This value is not constant is affected by many factors. One factor is the temperature. An increase in temperature, a corresponding change in solubility also can be observed. The increase leads to a decrease in the solubility and the opposite. A decrease is observed since gas molecules are now has enough energy to escape the liquid phase and go to the gas phase.

Silicon carbide, SiC, is commonly known as carborundum. This hard substance, which is used commercially as an abrasive, is made
mrs_skeptik [129]

Mass of SiC = 2 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

SiO₂(s) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

3.00 g of SiO₂

4.50 g of C

Required

mass of SiC

Solution

mol SiO₂ (MW=60,08 g/mol) :

= 3 g : 60.08 g/mol

= 0.0499

mol C(Ar = 12 g/mol) :

= 4.5 g : 12 g/mol

= 0.375

mol : coefficient of reactants =

SiO₂ : 0.0499/1 = 0.0499

C : 0.375/3 = 0.125

SiO₂ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

Mol SiC based on mol SiO₂ = 0.0499

Mass SiC :

= mol x MW

= 0.0499 x 40,11 g/mol

= 2 g

A student has a balloon that looks shiny like a metal and wants to perform an experiment to determine if it contains any metal.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.

Explanation:

The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).

When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.

Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.

Which is most likely to provide the best data on volcanic activity over the last 2000 years?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

By the time the Vesuvius eruption sputtered to an end the next day, Pompeii was buried under millions of tons of volcanic ash. About 2,000 Pompeiians were dead, but the eruption killed as many as 16,000 people overall. By

Which aqueous solution has the lowest freezing point c6h12o6, c2h5oh, ch3cooh, or nacl?
Eddi Din [679]
Depression of a freezing point of the solutions depends on the number of particles of the solute in the solution.
1 mol of C6H12O6 after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C6H12O6 does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of C2H5OH after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C2H5OH does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of NaCl after dissolving in water gives 2 mol of particles (ions), because NaCl is a strong electrolyte(as salt) and completely dissociates in water.
NaCl ----->Na⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of CH3COOH after dissolving in water gives more than 1 mol but less than 2 moles, because CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte (weak acid) and dissociates  only partially. 

So, most particles of the solute is going to be in the solution of NaCl, 
so<span> the lowest freezing point has the aqueous solution of NaCl.</span>
