Answer:

2l- ---> l2 + 2e- is the anode

2H+ + 2e- ---> H2(g) is the cathode

Explanation:

Oxidation occurs when a metal loses two or more electrons in a redox chemical reaction and reduction is when it gains. Thus, oxidation is the anode and reduction is the cathode.

What is the empirical formula of a compound with a percent composition of 22.5% Phosphorous and 77.5% Chlorine?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf PCl_3}}$

Explanation:

We are given the percent composition: 22.5% phosphorus and 77.5% chlorine.

We can assume there are 100 grams of this compound. We choose 100 because we can simply use the percentages as the masses.

22.5 g P
77.5 g Cl

Next, convert these masses to moles, using the molar masses found on the Periodic Table.

P: 30.974 g/mol
Cl: 35.45 g/mol

Use the molar masses as ratios and multiply by the number of grams. $22.5 \ g \ P * \frac {1 \ mol \ P }{30.974 \ g \ P}= \frac {22.5 \ mol \ P }{ 30.974} = 0.7264157035 \ mol \ P$

$77.5 \ g \ Cl * \frac {1 \ mol \ Cl }{35.45 \ g \ Cl}= \frac {77.5 \ mol \ Cl }{ 35.45} \ =2.186177715 \ mol \ Cl$

Divide both of the moles by the smallest number of moles to find the mole ratio.

$\frac {0.7264157035} {0.7264157035} = 1$

$\frac {2.186177715}{0.7264157035}=3.009540824 \approx 3$

The mole ratio is about 1 P: 3 Cl, so the empirical formula is written as:<u> PCl₃</u>

Which element in the periodic table does the beanie atom most closely resemble?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

number of valence electrons

Explanation:

The chemical properties of the atoms of elements in a group of the periodic table is most closely related to the number of valence electrons. All the chemical properties can be justified just by the number of valence electrons.
