Write a balanced half-reaction for the product that forms at each electrode in the aqueous electrolysis of the following salts:(
Semmy [17]

The balanced half-reaction for the product that forms at anode is Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ → Fe(s) and 2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻, the product that forms at cathode is 2I⁻  → I₂ + 2e- and 2H₂O  → O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻  

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The equation during which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation is called balanced chemical equation.

Now write the equation for FeI₂

At cathode:

Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ → Fe(s) Eo = - 0.44 V

2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻ Eo = - 0.827 V

It is easy to decrease Fe⁺² ions than the water, the product which is formed at cathode is Iron.

At anode:

2I⁻  → I₂ + 2e-    Eo = - 0.54 V

2H₂O  → O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻    Eo = -1.23 V

O₂ gas formed at anode.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The balanced half-reaction for the product at anode is Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ → Fe(s) and 2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻, the product that forms at cathode is 2I⁻  → I₂ + 2e- and 2H₂O  → O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻.

A government laboratory wants to determine whether water in a certain city has any traces of fluoride and whether the concentrat
nexus9112 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of fluorine in water recommended = 4.00 ppm

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of fluorine in water, we use the equation:

\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of fluorine = 0.152mg=0.152\times 10^{-3}g    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Mass of water = 5.00 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=\frac{0.152\times 10^{-3}}{5}\times 10^6\\\\\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=30.4

As, the calculated concentration is greater than the recommended concentration. So, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

Hence, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

Carboxypeptidases can be used to determine the entire sequence of short peptides (&lt;50 amino acid residues) and it starts by r
zepelin [54]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Carboxypeptidases are enzymes which function in the digestion of short peptides known as oligopeptides in the small intestine. Oligopeptides contain between 10 to 50 amino acid residues.

The two carboxypeptidases A and B involved in the digestion of proteins in the small intestine are secreted by the exocrine glands of the pancreas.They are both zinc-containing enzymes which remove successive carboxyl-terminal  (C-terminal) residues from oligopeptides until free amino acids are obtained.

Since they function in this way, they can be used to determine the entire sequence of short peptides or oligopeptides.

What is the difference between electronegativity and ionization energy
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

These properties are basically the inverse of each other.

Explanation:

  • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.

        Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from                        an atom.

  • More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
  • Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is  larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from  left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities  decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no  regular rule.
  • Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is  required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The  energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2  valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element.  In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element. The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right  across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies  generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.
