Consider a galvanic (voltaic) cell that has the generic metals X and Y as electrodes. If X is more reactive than Y (that is, X m

ore readily reacts to form a cation than Y does), classify the following descriptions by whether they apply to the X or Y electrode.
i. anode
ii. cathode
iii. electrons in the wire flow toward
iv. electrons in the wire flow away
v. cations from salt bridge flow toward
vi. anions from salt bridge flow toward
vii. gains mass
viii. loses mass

Answer:

X

anode

electrons in the wire flow away

anions from salt bridge flow toward

loses mass

Y

cathode

electrons in the wire flow toward

cations from salt bridge flow toward

gains mass

Explanation:

In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode. The metal that is more reactive functions as the anode while the less reactive metal functions as the cathode.

Electrons leave the anode and travel via a wire to the cathode. At the anode cations give up electrons and enter into the solution.

At the cathode, cations pick up electrons and are deposited on the cathode leading to a gain in mass at the cathode.

Positive ions from the salt bridge flow towards the cathode while negative ions from the salt bridge flow towards the anode.

The density of solid Cr is 7.15 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Cr?
Masja [62]
To calculate the number of atoms of Cr, we first find the number of moles per unit of cubic centimeter of Cr. Then, use avogadros number for the number of atoms. Calculations are as follows:

1 cm^3 (7.15 g/cm^3) (1 mol / 51.996 g Cr) = 0.14 mol Cr

0.14 mol Cr ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms Cr / 1 mol Cr ) = 8.28 x 10^22 atoms Cr

The sodium salt, NaA, of a weak acid is dissolved in water; no other substance is added. Which of these statements (to a close a
ddd [48]

Answer:

Your question is somewhat poorly worded, even so what I can contribute is the statement is false, since the salt is sodium chloride, where its severe chemical formula NaCl, is a SALT not an acid and if it dissolves in water, seriously the solute of a solution, where water plays the role of the solvent

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is a binary salt, very easy to dissolve in water, it is also called the famous table salt, since it can be ingested in food even though it is not so recommended against high blood pressure conditions.
