The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
First, you need to calculate the standard cell potential using standard reduction potential from a textbook or online. Since Mg becomes Mg+2, magnesium is being oxidized because it is losing electrons, you need to flip its potential
Fe+2 + 2e- --> Fe potential= -0.44
Mg+2 + 2e- --> Mg potential= -2.37
Cell potential= (-0.44) + (+2.37)= 1.93 V
Now, you need to use Nernst formula to get the answer. I have attached a PDF with the work.
By looking at the stochiometry, we can conclude that the ratio is 1 :1
2 moles of H2 react to form 2 moles of H2O
hope this helps
Answer:
24.5
Explanation:
15/6.3 => 2.38 half lives passed.
.5^2.38 => 0.19198 decimal representation of the percentage that is left over after 2.38 half lives have passed.
0.19198 *128 = 24.5 mg of the material remaining.
It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!
