Two identical spoons are electroplated with Ag or Cd through the use of the electrolytic cells. A current of 5.00A was supplied

to each cell for 600. seconds, and the masses of the spoons before and after the electroplating were recorded. Write down the mathematical equations can best be used to account for the much larger increase in mass of the spoon electroplated with Ag compared with the spoon electroplated with Cd.

Answer:

Explanation:

One farad of charge is capable of depositing one gram equivalent of a metal

One gram equivalent of Ag = 108 grams

One gram equivalent of Cd = 112 / 2  grams

= 56 grams . [ for cadmium equivalent mass = atomic mass / s ]

electric charge flowing = current x time = 5 x 600 = 3000 coulomb

one farad = 96500 coulomb

96500 coulomb  deposits 108 gram of Ag

3000 coulomb deposits 108 x 3000 / 96500 gram

= 3.35 grams of Ag

Similarly ,

96500 coulomb  deposits 56 gram of Cd

3000 coulomb deposits 56 x 3000 / 96500 gram

= 1.74  grams of Cd

So there will be much larger increase in the spoon of Ag due to larger deposit of Ag by charge .

describe how a physical property such as mass or Texture can change without causing a change in the substance
Tom [10]

You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example

CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O

If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.

However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.

Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.

You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.

So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.

Which sentence describes two atoms that form an ionic bond?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "D. The difference in their electronegativities is greater than 1.7"

Explanation:

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

So, this type of bond consists of the attraction of atoms with electric charges of different signs, that is, the bond is established when atoms of low electronegative elements (metals) are bonded with atoms of highly electronegative elements (nonmetals).

So you can say that atoms of electronegativity difference equal to or greater than 1.7 participate in this type of bond (with its exceptions).

<u><em>The correct answer is "D. The difference in their electronegativities is greater than 1.7"</em></u>

what are the limitations of litmus paper and phenolphthalein indicatiors? Name two other indicators that can be used that do not
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Limitations of litmus paper and phenolphthalein:

They do not give the numerical pH value.

Can differentiate only between a very strong acid and base.

The colour change can be for reasons other than acid- base reactions.

Explanation:

The litmus test is quick and simple, but it suffers from a few limitations. First, it's not an accurate indicator of pH; it does not yield a numerical pH value. Instead, it roughly indicates whether a sample is an acid or a base. Second, the paper can change colors for other reasons besides an acid-base reaction.
