AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.
Answer:
Part 1: W = 116 Y = 163
Part 2: Since 232 is the mailing point of 2 kg then you would divide 232 by 2 to get the melting point for 1 kg, the same with Y.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
Mean
Explanation:
The mean of a series of measurements is calculated when a<em>ll the measurements are added up and then divided by the number of measurements taken</em>, as follows:
- Sum of Measurements = 20.73 + 20.76 + 20.68 + 20.75 = 82.92
As<u> there are 4 measurements</u>, the mean is:
Answer:
1 mol of water is produced in those conditions.
Explanation:
The reaction to produce water between H₂ and O₂ is this:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
We don't have the amount of hydrogen, so we have to think that is in excess.
Let's work with oxygen.
Ratio is 1:2
For 0.5 mole of oxygen, I will make the double of moles of water.
