Why is graphite used for electrodes?

Chemistry
2 answers:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Graphite is an electrical conductor, hence useful in such applications as arc lamp electrodes. It can conduct electricity due to the vast electron delocalization within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity). These valence electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Graphite is used for electrodes because

The atomic structure of graphite results in a large number of electrons not being bonded, allowing them to migrate between the layers of graphite. It is this large number of free electrons (electron delocalization) that give graphite its excellent conductive properties. As well as being a good conductor, graphite is also cheap, robust and easily accessible.

Acidity is a measure of the amount of dissolved hydroxide ions in a solution.
Gekata [30.6K]

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.

When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:

H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)

Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:

BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.

2H2 +O2 = 2H2O balance equation with 5 oxygen
Ivenika [448]

10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Explanation:

This problem deals with balancing of chemical equations. In balancing chemical equations, the law of conservation of mass must be followed. This states that:

   "In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

This meaning of this is that; the number of atoms on each side of the expression must be the same.

                    2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

let us check is the equation above is balanced;

   

                                      2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  4                           4

O                                   2                           2

We can see vividly that the equation is balanced;

Now; if we have 5 oxygen gas, we multiply the equation through by 5:

 

                                 5 x          (  2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O   )

     ⇒        10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  20                       20

O                                  10                        10

58. Explain why each successive ionization of an electron
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.

A cart is rolling across the floor at a constant velocity of 2 m/s to the right. The cart is pushed again to the right, and it s
galben [10]

Answer: the answer is c.The unbalanced push causes the cart to speed up.

Explanation:

The application of an unbalanced force (the push) causes the cart to speed up. When the cart is in constant motion, the forces are balanced and there is no speeding up. Once an unbalanced force is added, the cart's speed changes.
