Oxygen is produced at the positive electrode

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In electrolysis, a solution called the electrolyte is decomposed by the passage of direct current through it.

The points through which current enters and leaves the electrolyte are called electrodes. In electrolysis, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.

In the electrolysis of water; at the anode oxygen is produced as follows;

4OH^-(aq) -----> 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e

Dissolving 5.28 g of an impure sample of calcium carbonate in hydrochloric acid produced 1.14 L of carbon dioxide at 20.0 °C and
swat32

Answer:

\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=93.37\ \%

Explanation:

Given that:

Pressure = 791 mmHg

Temperature = 20.0°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (20 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K  

T = 293.15 K  

Volume = 100 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol  

Applying the equation as:

791 mmHg × 1.14 L = n × 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol  × 293.15 K  

⇒n of CO_2 produced =  0.0493 moles

According to the reaction:-

CaCO_3 + 2 HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2 + H_2O + CO_2

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced 1 mole of calcium carbonate reacts

0.0493 mole of carbon dioxide is produced 0.0493 mole of calcium carbonate reacts

Moles of calcium carbonate reacted = 0.0493 moles

Molar mass of CaCO_3 = 100.0869 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0493\ mol= \frac{Mass}{100.0869\ g/mol}

Mass_{CaCO_3}=4.93\ g

Impure sample mass = 5.28 g

Percent mass is percentage by the mass of the compound present in the sample.

\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=\frac{Mass_{CaCO_3}}{Total\ mass}\times 100

\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=\frac{4.93}{5.28}\times 100

\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=93.37\ \%

Knowing the molarity of a solution is more meaningful than knowing whether a solution is dilute or concentrated. explain.
ser-zykov [4K]
Molarity is a measure of a solution's concentration calculation by getting the ratio of the number of moles of solute to the total volume of solution. This has a unit of M or molar, equivalent to mole/L. 

It is more important and meaningful to know the molarity rather than if the solution is dilute or concentrated because molarity gives the QUANTITATIVE approach of knowing the concentration while the second one only gives us the QUALITATIVE description of the solution. Hence, we are able to calculate for other unknown parameters if we have the molarity known.

Milk sours. Chemical change

A popsicle melts. _____Physical change

Turning brownie mix into brownies. Chemical change

Explanation:

Matter undergoes two types of changes: physical changes and chemical changes.

A physical change is one that affects only the physical properties of a substance such as colour, size, shape, etc., and in which no new substances are formed. Physical changes are easily reversible.

Chemical changes are changes which affect the chemical characteristics and properties of a substance such as reactivity, acidity, basicity, etc., resulting in the formation of new substances.

The following changes below are categorized as either physical or chemical changes based on which of the properties of the substance is affected and whether new substances result or not.
