Answer:

A. It keeps the electrolyte solutions neutral.

Explanation:

The electrons flow from the anode to the cathode and the problem is that the cathode may become too negative. The purpose of the salt bridge is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

Help me plz, I need help on this.

Omg i lost everything ugh
To do it again

1. 12g+2(16g)= 44g/mol
25.01/ 44g/mol= .... mol

2. 14g+3(1g)= 17g/mol
34.05g/ 17g/mol=.... mol

3. 23g+1g+ 12g+ 3(16g)= 84g/mol
17.31g/ 84g/mol=.... mol

4. 6(12g)+12(1g)+6(16g)= 180g/mol
123.44g/ 180g/mol=.... mol

5. 23g+16g+1g= 40g/mol
2.2mol x 40g/mol= .... g

6. 2(35g)= 71g/mol
4.5mol x 71g/mol= .... g

7. 137g+ 2(14g)+ 6(16g)= 261g/mol
0.002mol x 261g/mol= ....g

8. 2(56g)+ 3(32g)+ 12(16g)= 400g/mol
5.4mol x 400g/mol=.... g

I cant believe i had to do this all over

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)
