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)

If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________
valkas [14]

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?
velikii [3]

Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.
