A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of zinc in a 1.0 M zinc ion solution and another electrode composed
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is a device that uses redox reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reaction used is always spontaneous.

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.

The species that supplies electrons is the reducing agent (that is, it is that species that oxidizes, yielding electrons and increasing its positive charge, or decreasing the negative one causing the reduction of the other species) and the one that gains them is the oxidizing agent ( that is, it is that species that is reduced, capturing electrons and increasing its negative charge, or decreasing its positive charge, causing oxidation of the other species).

The galvanic cell works as follows: In the anodic half-cell oxidations occur, while in the cathodic half-cell reductions occur. The anode electrode, conducts the electrons that are released in the oxidation reaction, to the metallic conductors. These electrical conductors conduct the electrons and carry them to the cathode electrode; the electrons thus enter the cathode half-cell and the reduction takes place in it.

To determine the oxidizing and reducing agent you must first know the reduction potentials. For this you consult the list of standard reduction potentials. In this list you can see that the semi-reactions that occur with their corresponding potentials are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn E° -0.76 V

The species that has the greatest potential for reduction will be the species that will be reduced, that is, it will be the oxidizing agent. In this case, it will be the experience corresponding to silver (Ag). Therefore, to obtain the redox reaction, the half-reaction corresponding to zinc (Zn) must be reversed to be an oxidation, keeping its E ° value constant. Then:

Reduction: Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Oxidation: Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ E° -0.76 V

So: <em>E°cell=Ereduction - Eoxidation</em>

Or what is the same<em> E°cell=Ecathode - Eanode </em>because the reduction always occurs in the cathode and oxidation in the anode.

E°cell=0.80 V - (-0.76) V

<em>E°cell= 1.56 V</em>

Then <u><em>the E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.</em></u>

Some versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the top of Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of h
lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal

Name the element described in each of the following:
borishaifa [10]

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.
