Answer:

A Standard Hydrogen Electrode is an electrode that scientists use for reference on all half-cell potential reactions. The value of the standard electrode potential is zero, which forms the basis one needs to calculate cell potentials using different electrodes or different concentrations. It is important to have this common reference electrode, just as it is important for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures to keep a sealed piece of metal that is used to reference the S.I. Kilogram.

Answer:

The role of an electrode as cathode or anode depends on the nature and electrode potential of the other electrode with which it forms the complete electrochemical cell.

When a cell is to be made with zinc electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as a cathode and the zinc electrode will behave as anode because zinc is present above hydrogen in the activity series. That is zinc is more electropositive than hydrogen.

If the cell is made with a copper electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as anode and the copper electrode as a cathode. This is due to the fact that Cooper is present below hydrogen in the activity series. Copper is less electropositive than hydrogen.

tangare [24]

Explanation:

When a metal replaces another metal in solution, we say such a reaction has undergone a single displacement reaction.

In such a reaction, metal higher up in the activity series replaces another one due to their position.

To known the metal or metals that will replace the given copper, we need to reference the activity series of metals.

Every metal higher than copper in the series will displace copper from the solution.

So, there metals are: potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, strontium etc.

Irina18 [472]
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three. The deposit will occur at the cathode

Explanation:

The valence of the elements in this case is as follows -

Cu - 2e-

Sn - 4e-

Cr - 3e-

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three

The atoms of copper metal will deposit at the cathode. At the cathode, the least number of moles of electrons needed .

Hence, more amount of copper  can be extracted out by the electrolyte

Consider the reaction 2 S + 3 O2 → 2 SO3 , which has a 75.1% yield. How much O2 is consumed if 583 g of SO3 are produced?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A/1.      10.9 mol O2

Explanation:

583 g x 1 mol SO3 x 3 mol O2 /

      80.057 g mol SO3 x 2 mol SO3

- You just need to find molar mass of SO3, which is 80.057 g.

- Everything else came from formula. Further explanation...

- Always start with what they give, such as 583 g. Then find 1 mol of what is being produced, in this it is SO3. We already found this because we did molar mass above. Next. find how many moles of what they want, which is O2. Look in equation and you can see 3 mol in from of O2. Next, do the same for SO3 and you can find 3 mol in front of that. Lastly, just do the math.

- If you need a further explanation or more help on any problems I would be happy to help, just let me know.
