Answer:

Explanation:

Electrochemical cell is composed of 2 half cells, one where reduction reaction takes place which is the cathode and the other is where oxidation reaction takes place.

Reduction reaction

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---> Cu(s)

E° = 0.34 V

Oxidation reaction

2Ag(s) --> 2Ag+(aq) + 2e-

E° = -0.80 V

Combining both equations,

2Ag(s) + Cu2+ (aq) ⟶ 2Ag+ (aq) + Cu(s)

Standard eletrode potential of the cell, E°cell = E°cath - E°anode

= 0.34 - (-0.80)

= +1.14 V.

If the value of E°cell is positive, then the reaction is spontaneous, and it will occur as written under standard conditions; it will, however, not proceed spontaneously in the opposite direction.

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

Which of the following are acids by the Bronsted-Lowry Definition:
olga55 [171]

ANSWER IS (A)

EXPLANATION:

Bronsted-Lowry concept states that a substance is an acid if it can act as a H+ donor.

HCl in aqueous solution means that HCl is present in water, HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-.  This reaction will take place, the H+ from HCl will be donated to H2O. So, HCl is a bronsted-lowry acid by definition.


However, Methanol (CH3OH) its written that it is liquid, i.e. pure methanol, CH3OH(l).  It is both acidic as well as basic. when it is mixed with water then it behaves as an acid.

The last one ammonia in gas phase is also neutral because its not in water. if mixed in water it behaves as a base.
