Answer:
Explanation:
Trick question. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place. The reduction reaction is the gain of electrons.
Pb+2 + 2e^- ===> Pb The eo for that is - 0.126.
The minus sign indicates that the Pb^2+ is not overjoyed at taking on those two electrons. If it had a say in the matter, it would rather be giving up electrons. In other words, it would rather be the oxidizing equation which would look like this
Pb ===> Pb+2 + 2e^- and the oxidizing potential would be eo = + 0.126
That's what moving right and moving left means. If the eo is - then the preferred reaction is the opposite one.
This is a real language problem and if Znk answers you can take his answer to the bank.
Answer:
Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon
Explanation:
Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.
The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.
Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.
Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.
Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.
Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.
Yea I think the light is to fast
The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
8.81 g Carbon
91.2 g Chlorine
Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol
Required
The empirical formula and molecular formula
Solution
Mol ratio :
C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733
Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572
Divide by 0.733
C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7
The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula
(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5
(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5
(272.193)n=1362.5
n = 5
The electron, due to the way an electron orbits the nucleus of an atom.
According to Quantum Mechanics, electrons do not really orbit the nucleus of an atom. In fact, the most tightly bound state, the 1s orbital, has no angular momentum at all. This would be the state with the most "kinetic energy" and yet there is no "orbital" motion at all in this state.
