Answer: Na or Ca?

Explanation:

Answer:

Calcium will be the anode and sodium will be the cathode

Explanation:

I know that your confusion stems from the relative positions of the two metals in the activity series but I want you to get something clearly. Sodium metal is more reactive than calcium metal but calcium ion is more reactive (a better reducing agent) than the sodium ion.

Hence, in an electrochemical cell, a better reducing agent will function as the anode. This is why calcium is the anode in the cell mentioned in the question. Calcium ion has a reduction potential of -2.87 V while sodium ion has a reduction potential of -2.71 V, hence the answer.

What is the molarity of a solution made by mixing 75.0 mL of 3.00 M NH₄OH with enough water to give 250. mL of solution?
enyata [817]

Answer:

Mass 1=3M

Mass 2=?

Volume1=75mL

Volume2=250mL

By using molarity formula:

<u>mass1*volume 1=mass2*volume 2</u>

3M*75=mass2*250

mass2=225/250

mass2:0.9M

<h3>the molarity of a solution is 0.9M.</h3>
