An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation.
1 answer:
The cell notation is:
here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell
in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]
in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]
1) this is a galvanic cell
2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode
Therefore
3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative
Δ
As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.

This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.
On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.
On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.
On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.
The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.
So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:
Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur
2. B)
3. B) Fluorine
Explanation:
1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.
Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7
Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.
2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example:
Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: ,
and
3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas
