Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

An aqueous solution of ammonia is found to be basic. This observation can be explained by the net ionic equationHNO3(aq) + H2O(l
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

NH_3_{(aq)}+H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow NH_4^+_{(aq)}+OH^-_{(aq)}

Explanation:

Bases are the species which furnish hydroxide ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron deficient species as they are electron rich species. When a base accepts a proton, it changes into a acid which is known as its conjugate acid.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.  Only the species which are present in aqueous state dissociate. So, the net ionic equation of aqueous solution of ammonia is shown below as:-

NH_3_{(aq)}+H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow NH_4^+_{(aq)}+OH^-_{(aq)}

How many grams of NaOH are contained in 500 mL of a 0.80 M sodium hydroxide solution?
4vir4ik [10]

This is molarity: moles of solute/liters of solution. (Not molality)

1. Plug in what we know:

500 mL = 0.5 L

0.80 = moles/0.5

0.80*0.5 = moles

moles = 0.4

2. NaOH is given as 40 g/mole, so calculate the grams:

0.4 * 40 = 16 grams

answer: 16 grams

K2so4 is a strong electrolyte. determine the concentration of each of the individual ions in a 0.450 m k2so4 solution.
amid [387]

<em>Answer:</em>

  • Conc. of K+ ions = 0.90 M
  • Coc. of SO4∧-2 = 0.45 M

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Data Given:</em>

Conc. of H2SO4 = 0.450

As sulphoric acid is a strong electrolyte, it completely dissociate into ions.

H2SO4 ⇆   2K+   +   SO4∧-2

.450 M K2SO4 means that there is .450 mols of K2SO4 in every liter of solution.

                      K2SO4  :  K+                                          K2SO4  : SO4∧-2

                          1      =     2                                                   1     =    1

                     0.450   =   2× 0.450 = 0.90                     0.450 =  0.450×1 = 0.450

<em> Result:</em>

Conc. of potassium ion will be 0.90M    

Coc. of sulphate ions will be 0.45 M
