Which statement identifies the function of a cathode in every electrochemical cell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
n200080 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. Reduction occurs at the cathode.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's the <em>definition</em>: The cathode is the electrode at which reduction occurs.

A is <em>wrong</em>. The cathode gains electrons through the external circuit.

C is <em>wrong</em>. The cathode has the electrons, so cations move toward it.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Reduction occurs at the cathode, so the oxidation number decreases.

Why there are different branches of chemistry
fredd [130]
The 5 branches are organic, inorganic, biochemistry, analytical, and physical. There are different branches because they each apply to different parts of chemistry. For example organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds and inorganic chemistry is the study of non carbon compounds. You can't just have one type of chemistry because these are very different.

Three of the primary components of air are
Darya [45]

Answer:

125.681 torr

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the partial pressure of oxygen:

P(O2) = Pcommon - PCO2 - PN2

1 atm = 760 torr

Therefore you need to find the partial pressure of oxygen:

P(O2) = 760 torr -0.285 torr - 634.034 torr =130.013 torr

Calculate ΔH° = for the chemical reaction
babymother [125]

Answer: \Delta H^0 for the reaction Cl_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClF(g)  is -108kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=[n\times B.E_{reactants}]-[n\times B.E{products}]

where, n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[1\times B.E_{Cl_2}+1\times B.E_{F_2}]-[2\times B.E_{ClF}]

\Delta H=[(1\times 243)+(1\times 159)]-[2\times 255]

\Delta H=-108kJ

Thus \Delta H^0 for the reaction Cl_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClF(g)  is -108kJ
