Answer:

Explanation:

The cell reaction properly written is shown below:

              Cu|Cu²⁺_{aq} || Ag⁺_{aq} | Ag

From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.

  Oxidation half:

                  Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

At the anode, oxidation occurs.

  Reduction half:

                  Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

At the cathode, reduction occurs.

To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:

             Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

              Ag⁺_{aq} + e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

  we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:

         2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag_{s}

The net reaction equation:

Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ + 2Ag_{s}

We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:

  Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2Ag_{s}

9A. A sample of hydrogen at 1.56 atm had it's pressure decreased to 0.73
densk [106]

Answer:

351.43mL

Explanation:

To calculate the original volume of hydrogen gas in this question, the Boyle's law equation will be used. Boyle's law equation is:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where; P1 = initial pressure

V1 = initial volume

P2 = final pressure

V2 = final volume

According to this question, the P1= 1.56atm, V1 = ?, P2 = 0.73atm, V2 = 751mL

Hence;

P1V1 = P2V2

1.56 × V1 = 0.73 × 751

1.56 V1 = 548.23

V1 = 548.23/1.56

V1 = 351.43mL

Therefore, the original volume of hydrogen gas is 351.43 mL.
