Explain, in terms of ions, why the aqueous solution in the cell conducts an electric current.

1 answer:

8 0

The solution contains mobile ions. These ions can move freely. These ions, Na+ and Cl-, both in aqueous forms, move freely, allowing the charge to flow from the anode to cathode (because the battery is discharging, otherwise it would be cathode to anode).

Reaction rate is expressed in terms of changes in the concentration of reactants and products. Write a balanced equation for the

KengaRu [80]

Answer : The balanced equations will be:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+CO_2$

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

Now we have to determine the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions.

$Rate=-\frac{d[CH_4]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}=+\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}$

The balanced equations will be:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+CO_2$

How many moles are in 15.5-g SiO2

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

0.26 moles

Explanation:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass of SiO2 = 15.5g

Molar mass of SiO2 = 60.08g/mol

Number of moles = 15.5g/60.08g/mol

=0.257

= 0.26 moles
