Answer: 2Cl^-(l)\rightarrow 2e^-+Cl_2(g)

Explanation:

Electrolysis of a subastance is breaking it into its constituents by the action of electrical current.  

In the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, sodium metal is produced at the cathode which is a negative electrode and chlorine gas produces as the anode which is a positive electrode.

2NaCl(l)\rightarrow 2Na^++2Cl^-

At anode : 2Cl^-(l)\rightarrow 2e^-+Cl_2(g)

At cathode : 2Na^+(l)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Na(l)

What is the largest number that can be added to 6.022x10^23 without changing its displayed value?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>The Avogadro constant, named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro, is the number of constituent particles, usually atoms or molecules, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole. The answer, in this case, would be 0.0004999...*10^23 = (10^19)*(4.999... [any finite number of 9s]).</span>

Which acid is the best choice to create a buffer with ph= 3.19?
Crazy boy [7]
<span>The best choice is hypochlorous acid nitrous acid (HNO2) because it has the nearest value of pK to the desired pH.
pKa of </span>nitrous acid<span> is 3.34 
If we know pKa and pH values,  we can calculate the required ratio of conjugate base (NO2⁻) to acid (HNO2) from the following equation:
pH=pKa + log(conc. of base)/( conc. of acid)
</span><span>3.19=3.34 + log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
</span><span>3.19 - 3.34 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
-0.15 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2) = 10⁰¹⁵ = 1.41

Calculate the number of miles of magnesium,chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.00 moles of magnesium perchlorate
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.00 mol Mg

10.0 mol Cl

40.0 mol O

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of Mg(ClO₄)₂: 5.00 mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Mg

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Mg is 1:1.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 1 mol Mg/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 5.00 mol Mg

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:2.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 2 mol Cl/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 10.0 mol Cl

Step 4: Calculate the number of moles of O

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:8.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 8 mol O/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 40.0 mol O
