Positively charged protons in the nucleus, hope this helps.
Answer:
Explanation:
Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.
The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:
Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:
The net equation is then:
However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:
Actual anode half-equation:
Actual cathode half-equation:
Actual net reaction:
Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.
Answer:
a) cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)
b) 0.068 V.
Explanation:
A) Cu2+ + 2e- euilibrium cu (s)
Hg2Cl2 + 2e- equilibrium 2Hg (l) + 1cl-
Cell Reaction: cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)
B) To calculate the cell voltage
E = E_o Cu2+/Cu - (0.05916 V / 2) log 1/Cu2+
putting values we get
= 0.339V + (90.05916V/2)log(0.100) = 0.309V
E_cell = E Cu2+/Cu - E SCE = 0.309 V - 0.241 V = 0.068V.
