Answer:

At the cathode during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of magnesium iodide, MgI2 , 2I−(aq) is produced

Explanation:

At cathode, reduction reaction takes place.

The dissociation of MgI2 in aqueous solution is Mg2+(aq) and 2I−(aq)

Here, the Iodine reduces to 2I−(aq) from state of 0 (MgI2) to state of -1 (2I−(aq))

Hence, at the cathode during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of magnesium iodide, MgI2 , 2I−(aq) is produced

How many moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of 2.50 liters?

loris [4]

Data:
n (number of mols) = ?
V (volume) = 2.50 Liters
If:
1 L → 1000 g
2.50 L → y

y = 1000*2.50 = 2500 g

Therefore:
m (mass) = 2500 g

Now:
Molar Mass (MM) of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Formula:
$n = \frac{m}{MM}$

Solving:
$n = \frac{m}{MM}$
$n = \frac{2500\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{16\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}$
$\boxed{\boxed{n = 156.25\:mols}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Capture all of the smoke and weight it. it will weigh exactly the same before and after you burn it but will just be CO2 and H2O gas.

Consider the substances hydrogen (H2), fluorine (F2), and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Based on their molecular structures, how does

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of H2, and it is higher than the boiling point of F2.

Explanation:

In HF, inter- molecule forces will be present between the hydrogen and fluorine atoms. There will be hydrogen bonding present among the hydrogen and fluorine atoms. Hydrogen bonds are strong bonds and hence the boiling point for HF would be high as much energy will be required to break these bonds.

H2 and F2 will only have intra-molecular attractions and there will be no hydrogen bonds present in them. As a result, their boiling point will be lower.
