Answer:
acetic acid, sodium hydroxide
Explanation:
A strong acid is an acid that ionizes in water to give all its hydrogen ion. Weak acid only ionize to a certain degree. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) only ionize to give one hydrogen ion despite having other hydrogen atom. This account for its weak nature as an acid as shown below:
CH3COOH <=> H^+ + CH3COO^-
A strong base is a base that ionizes in water to give all it hydroxide ion. Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) ionizes to give all its hydroxide ions. This make it a strong base as shown below;
NaOH <=> Na^+ + OH^-
Answer: 2 atoms
Explanation: 2 in Co2 means 2 atoms
Answer:
Approximately
under standard conditions.
Explanation:
Equation for the overall reaction:
.
Write down the ionic equation for this reaction:
.
The net ionic equation for this reaction would be:
.
In this reaction:
- Zinc loses electrons and was oxidized (at the anode):
. - Copper gains electrons and was reduced (at the cathode):
.
Look up the standard potentials for each half-reaction on a table of standard reduction potentials.
Notice that
is oxidation and is likely not on the table of standard reduction potentials. However, the reverse reaction,
, is reduction and is likely on the table.
The reduction potential of
would be
, the opposite of the reverse reaction
.
The standard potential of the overall reaction would be the sum of the standard potentials of the two half-reactions:
.
