Answer:  Gold act as cathode.

Explanation:

Standard potential for an electrochemical cell is given by:

E^0{cell} = standard electrode potential =E^0{cathode}-E^0{anode}

The E^0 values have to be reduction potentials.  

Reduction potentials for given elements

E^o_{Be^{2+}/Be}=-1.97V

E^o_{Au^{3+}/Au}=+1.40V

The element Be with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element Au with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Cathode : 2Au^{3+}+6e^-\rightarrow 2Au

Anode : 3Be\rightarrow 3Be^{2+}+6e^-

3Be+2Au^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Au+3Be^{2+}(aq)

Thus gold act as cathode.

The reaction between copper II chloride and sodium sulfide as well as lead II nitrate and potassium sulfate both produce precipitates.

The solubility of a substance in water is in accordance with the solubility rules.  It is possible that a solid product may be formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together. That solid product is referred to as a precipitate.

Now, we will consider each reaction individually to decode whether or not a precipitate is possible.

  • In the first reaction, we have; CuCl2(aq) + Na2S(aq) ---->CuS(s) + 2NaCl(aq). A precipitate (CuS) is formed.
  • In the second reaction, Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KNO3(aq) ----> PbSO4(s) + KNO3(aq), a precipitate PbSO4 is formed
  • In the third reaction, NH4Br(aq) + NaOH(aq) ----->NH3(g)  + NaBr(aq) + H2O(l), a precipitate is not formed here.

Deduce the charge of Z ,in the compound of ZBr2
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

2+

Explanation:

The charge on Z in the compound ZB₂ is a 2+  

  From the given compound:

   We know that Br is bromine with a charge of -1;

So;

   Using the combining power approach:

Atoms                              Z                                Br

Combining power           2                                1

Exchange of valency      1                                 2

So;

  The charge on Z is  2+

          2
