Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,

but is a poor solvent for extractions. In ten or fewer words, provide an explanation for why ethanol is a poor solvent selection for extraction.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of aluminum in a 1.0 M aluminum ion solution and another electrode c
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

E° = 2.46 V

Explanation:

We have a voltaic cell of aluminum and silver in their respective solutions. To know where will take place the reduction (cathode) and where will take place the oxidation (anode), we need to compare the standard reduction potentials.

E°(Al³⁺/Al) = -1.66 V

E°(Ag⁺/Ag) = +0.80 V

Since Ag⁺/Ag has the highest reduction potential that is where reduction will take place while oxidation will take place in the Al electrode.

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

Oxidation (anode): Al(s) ⇒ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻

The standard potential of the cell (E°) is the difference between the reduction potential of the cathode and the reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red,cathode - E°red,anode = 0.80 V - (-1.66V) = 2.46 V
