Answer:

A pathway by which counterions can flow between the half-cells without the solutions in the half-cell totally mixing.

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.

Hence, there is a build up of positive ions at the anode and a build up of negative ions at the cathode. This tends to disrupt the electrical neutrality of the half cells.

Hence, there is a need for negative ions in the salt bridge to flow towards the anode and positive ions in the salt bridge to flow towards the cathode in order to maintain the electrical neutrality of the cells.

Hence, a salt bridge provides a pathway by which counterions can flow between the half-cells without the solutions in the half-cell totally mixing.

Calculate the number of moles and the mass of the solute in each of the following solutions:
frosja888 [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The number of moles of KI are 2.7\times 10^{-5} and mass is 4.482\times 10^{-3}g

<u>For b:</u> The number of moles of sulfuric acid are 1.65\times 10^{-5} and mass is 1.617\times 10^{-3}g

<u>For c:</u> The number of moles of potassium chromate are 2.84\times 10^{-2} and mass is 5.51 g.

<u>For d:</u> The number of moles of ammonium sulfate are 39.018 moles and mass is 5155.84 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}    .....(1)

To calculate the number of moles of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(2)

  • <u>For a:</u>

Molarity of KI = 8.23\times 10^{-5}M

Volume of solution = 325 mL = 0.325 L     (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

8.25\times 10^{-5}mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of KI}}{0.325L}\\\\\text{Moles of KI}=2.7\times 10^{-5}mol

Now, using equation 2, we get:

Moles of KI = 2.7\times 10^{-5}mol

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

2.7\times 10^{-5}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of KI}}{166g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of KI}=4.482\times 10^{-3}g

Hence, the number of moles of KI are 2.7\times 10^{-5} and mass is 4.482\times 10^{-3}g

  • <u>For b:</u>

Molarity of sulfuric acid = 22\times 10^{-5}M

Volume of solution = 75 mL = 0.075 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

22\times 10^{-5}mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}}{0.075L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=1.65\times 10^{-5}mol

Now, using equation 2, we get:

Moles of sulfuric acid = 1.65\times 10^{-5}mol

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98 g/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

1.65\times 10^{-5}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2SO_4}{98g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }H_2SO_4=1.617\times 10^{-3}g

Hence, the number of moles of sulfuric acid are 1.65\times 10^{-5} and mass is 1.617\times 10^{-3}g

  • <u>For c:</u>

Molarity of potassium chromate = 0.1135M

Volume of solution = 0.250 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.1135mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of }K_2CrO_4}{0.250L}\\\\\text{Moles of }K_2CrO_4=2.84\times 10^{-2}mol

Now, using equation 2, we get:

Moles of potassium chromate = 2.84\times 10^{-2}mol

Molar mass of potassium chromate = 194.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

2.84\times 10^{-2}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }K_2CrO_4}{194.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }K_2CrO_4=5.51g

Hence, the number of moles of potassium chromate are 2.84\times 10^{-2} and mass is 5.51 g.

  • <u>For d:</u>

Molarity of ammonium sulfate = 3.716 M

Volume of solution = 10.5 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

3.716mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of }(NH_4)_2SO_4}{10.5L}\\\\\text{Moles of }(NH_4)_2SO_4=39.018mol

Now, using equation 2, we get:

Moles of ammonium sulfate = 39.018 mol

Molar mass of ammonium sulfate = 132.14 g/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

39.018mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }(NH_4)_2SO_4}{132.14g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }(NH_4)_2SO_4=5155.84g

Hence, the number of moles of ammonium sulfate are 39.018 moles and mass is 5155.84 grams.

What happen when a piece of silver metal is added to the copper sulphate solution​
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:When silver Ag metal is added to copper sulphate CuSO4 solution, no reaction takes place as silver is less reactive than that of copper and cannot displace copper from its solution. Hence, when a piece of silver metal is added to copper sulphate solution there will be no reaction.
