Answer:

Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cd(s)

Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is composed of two half-reactions:

Reduction (cathode): Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cd(s)

Oxidation (anode): Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺ reduces to Cd (the oxidation number decreases from 2 to 0), whereas Mg oxidizes to Mg²⁺ (the oxidation number increases from 0 to 2). We can get the overall cell reaction by adding both half-reactions:

Cd²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s) → Cd(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

lutik1710 [3]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. When a substance changes from one phase to another, the average kinetic energy of the substance <span>changes since the molecules movements are changed as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

0.595

Explanation:

Let's consider the decomposition of hydrogen chloride.

2 HCl(g) ⇄ H₂(g) + Cl₂(g)

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is equal to the product of the partial pressure of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the partial pressure of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Kp = pH₂ × pCl₂ / pHCl²

Kp = 77.9 × 54.4 / 84.4²

Kp = 0.595
