Answer:

Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode

Part B. 0.017V

Explanation:

Part A

The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).

So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.

Part B

By the Nersnt equation:

E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]

Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.

E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)

E°cell = 0.017V

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?
natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).  

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be \text{Li}^{+}.

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be \text{Br}^{-}

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like \text{Li}^+ are positive. Others ions like \text{Br}^{-} are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one \text{Li}^{+} ion balances the negative charge on one \text{Br}^{-} ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. \text{Li}^{+} is positive and \text{Br}^{-} is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.
