Chemistry

Answer:

The electrode that removes ions from solution

Explanation:

Each electrochemical cell consists of an anode and a cathode. Oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.

At the anode, ions move from the electrode into the solution while at the cathode ions move from the solution to the electrode.

At the cathode, metal ions accept electron(s) and become deposited on the electrode hence this electrode removes ions from solution. This is reduction.

How many moles in 1.00g of salicylic acid?

salantis [7]

Answer:- 0.00724 moles.

Solution:- Grams of salicylic acid are given and it asks to calculate the moles.

For the moles, we divide the grams by the molar mass.

Formula of salicylic acid is $C_7H_6O_3$

Molar mass = 7(12.01)+6(1.01)+3(16.00)

= 84.07+6.06+48.00

= 138.13 gram per mol

We could make the dimensional analysis set up for showing unit cancellation and have the moles.

$1.00g(\frac{1mol}{138.13g})$

= 0.00724 moles

So, there will be 0.00724 moles of salicylic acid in it's 1.00 gram.

6)Explain why a 0.010 M solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl has a pH of 2.00 but a 0.010 M solution of

ExtremeBDS [4]

0.010 M solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl has a pH of 2.00 but a 0.010 M solution of acetic acid, HCH₃COO, is 3.37 is because HCl dissociates more.

<h3>Dissociation</h3>

This is the separation of ions of an ionic compound when it dissolves.

<h3>Hydrogen ion concentration of HCl</h3>

Since 0.010 M solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl has a pH of 2.00 its hydrogen ion concentration is gotten from

pH = -log[H⁺]

So,

$[H^{+} ] = 10^{-pH}$

So, [H⁺] = 10⁻²

<h3>Hydrogen ion concentration of HCH₃COO</h3>

Also, since 0.010 M solution of acetic acid, HCH₃COO, has a pH of 3.37, its hydrogen ion concentration is gotten from

pH = -log[H⁺]

So,

$[H^{+} ] = 10^{-pH}$

So, [H⁺] = 10⁻³°³⁷ = 0.000427 = 4.27 × 10⁻⁴

Since the hydrogen ion concentration of HCl is 10⁻² and the hydrogen ion concentration of HCH₃COO is 4.27 × 10⁻⁴, we see that HCl dissociates more than HCH₃COO.

So, 0.010 M solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl has a pH of 2.00 but a 0.010 M solution of acetic acid, HCH₃COO, is 3.37 is because HCl dissociates more.

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

DanielleElmas [232]

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.
