Explanation:
1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.
Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.
In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.
For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.
2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.
The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.
The anode is the electrode where the oxidation occurs.
Cathode is the electrode where the reducction occurs.
Equations:
Mn(2+) + 2e- ---> Mn(s) Eo = - 1.18 V
2Fe(3+) + 2e- ----> 2 Fe(2+) 2Eo = + 1.54 V
The electrons flow from the electrode with the lower Eo to the electrode with the higher Eo yielding to a positive voltage.
Eo = 1.54 V - (- 1.18) = 1.54 + 1.18 = 2.72
Answer: 2.72 V
Explanation:
For example, Identify the number and type of ions formed in a reaction of calcium and carbon. Step 1: Determine the number of valence electrons for each element and whether the element loses or gains electrons. Calcium has 2 valence electrons and is a metal so it will give up two electrons.
