Given info : 500 cc of 2N Na2CO3 are mixed with 400 cc of 3N H2SO4 and volume was diluted to one litre. To find : will the resulting solution is acidic , basic or neutral ? Calculate the molarity of the dilute solution. solution : no of moles of Na2CO3 = normality/n %3D - factor x volume 2/2 x 500/1000 = 0.5 mol %D no of moles of H2SO4 = 3/2 x 400/100O = 0.6 mol %3D We see, Na2CO3 + H2S04 => Na2S04 + CO2 + H2O Here one mol of Na2C03 reacts with one mole of H2SO4. So, 0.5 mol of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.5 mol of H2SO4. so, remaining 0.1 mol of H2SO4 makes solution acidic. Now molarity of solution = remaining no of moles of H2SO4/volume of solution= 0.1/1 = %3D 0.1M
The electrons are supplied by the species getting oxidized. They move from anode to the cathode in the external circuit. The external battery supplies the electrons. They enter through the cathode and come out through the anode
