Answer:
Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode
Part B. 0.017V
Explanation:
Part A
The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).
So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.
Part B
By the Nersnt equation:
E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]
Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.
E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)
E°cell = 0.017V
Answer:
weak bonds break and strong bonds form
Explanation:
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.
Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.
<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>
Answer:
Polarizing power refers to an atoms ability to pull an electron toward it, polarizing the atom the electron comes from. Since cations are positive, they are able to attract electrons toward themselves. Anions are negative and so do not attract more electrons.
Therefore, Be2+ has a higher polarizing power because it has a higher quantitiy of protons, hence a higher polarizing power.
Answer:An alcoholic drink is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar. The consumption of alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Explanation: vodka the preferred alcoholic beverage of choice among alcoholics? #3 Doesn't make you feel bloated or full like beer does. It goes down quickly and smooth. #4 Gets you drunk just as fast as any other hard liquor can, and obviously much faster than beer or wine.
