Answer:

$Li_2O$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when looking over the chemical formula of a compound formed when two elements interact, we need to realize about their location in the periodic table; thus, since lithium is a metal and oxygen a nonmetal, we infer lithium turns out the cation and oxygen the anion. Moreover, as the oxidation state of lithium is 1+ and that of oxygen is 2-, we can set up the chemical formula as follows:

$Li^+O^{2-}\\\\Li_2O$

Best regards!

Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)

Dovator [93]

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. $Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the half-reactions:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)$

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)$

With this in mind we can add the electrons:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)$ Reduction

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~$ Oxidation

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

$Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_)$ - 0.69 V

$Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_)$ -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to flip the reduction potential value:

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~$ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to add the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = 0.97 V

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

$Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)$

I hope it helps!

Anhydrous CoCl2 is blue; CoCl2•6H2O is red. When CoCl2•6H2O is heated and water is clearly being driven off, it becomes uniforml

Sedaia [141]

Answer: On losing 6 moles of water, cobalt chloride forms unstable violet-coloured ions, before generating its stable blue-coloured anhydrous form.

Explanation:

The hydrated cobalt chloride loses its 6 water of crystallization, then dissociates into ions: cobalt ions and chlorine ions that appear violet, and quickly combined to form the stable anhydrous Cobalt chloride with blue colour.

Chemical reaction to form products this chemical equation represents one such reaction the coefficient for one of the reactants

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

In a chemical equation, chemicals that react are the reactants, while chemicals that are produced are the products/by products. Both sides of the equation must be balanced.

Explanation

When writing a chemical equation, reactants reacts to produce products. For example in the equation for formation of water, hydrogen combines with oxygen as 2H₂ +O₂→2H₂O where the first part before the arrow represent the reactants and the next part after the arrow are the products. Reactants are on the left where as products are on the right.Coefficient 2, in this cases is used for balancing the equation
