Answer:

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)

Explanation:

The unbalanced equation is

Al(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ Ni(s) + Al³⁺(aq)

(i) Half-reactions

Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻

Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)

(ii) Balance charges

2 × [Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻]

3 × [Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)]

gives

2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s)

(iii) Add equations

2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s)

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s) + 6e⁻

Simplify (cancel electrons)

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

stiv31 [10]

The chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as cr³⁺ will take 6.19 hours will it take to plate 18.0 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 45.0 A.

It is given that mass is 18 kg. Converting mass into grams

18 x (1000g / 1 kg)

= 18000 g

So, 18 kg = 18000 g

Now, calculate the number of moles

No. of moles = mass of Cr / molecular mass of Cr

No. of moles = 18000 / 52 g/mole

No. of moles = 346.15 mole

For , Cr³⁺, 3 moles of electrons are required

Hence,

3 x 346.15 mole

1038.45

As 96500 C of charge are present in 1 mole of electrons. As a result, the charge held by 1038.45 mole of electrons will be determined as follows.

= 1038.45mol x 96500 C / mole

= 10.02 x 10⁷ C

As, we know that relation between charge, current and time is as follows.

Q = I x T

Current is given as 45 A

Therefore, charge is calculated

T = Q / I

T = 100.21 x 10⁶ / 45

T = 2.227 x 10⁶

As there are 3600 seconds in one 1 hour. Converting 2.227 x 10⁶ into hours are

= 2.227 x 10⁶ / 3600 sec/h

= 6.19 hours

Thus, if the current flowing through the cell is maintained constant at 45 A, we may estimate that it will take 6.19 hours to plate 18 kg of chromium onto the cathode.
