The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell

is the site of the reduction reaction. Type the half-cell reaction that takes place at the anode for the chromium-silver voltaic cell. Indicate the physical states of atoms and ions using the abbreviation (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aq) for an aqueous solution. Do not include phases for electrons. Express your answer as a chemical equation.

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell, oxidation reaction occurs at anode whereas reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.

Hence, the half-cell reaction taking place at anode and cathode will be as follows.

At anode (Oxidation) : Cr(s) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-} ...... (1)

At cathode (Reduction) : Ag^{+}(aq) + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s)

So, in order to balance the half cell reactions, we multiply reduction reaction by 3. Hence, reduction reaction equation will be as follows.

              3Ag^{+}(aq) + 3e^{-} \rightarrow 3Ag(s)  ........ (2)

Therefore, overall reaction will be sum of equations as (1) + (2). Thus, net reaction equation is as follows.

      Cr(s) 3Ag^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3Ag(s)

Most fuel gases used for welding are
NikAS [45]
Acetylene is the only fuel gas suitable for gas welding because of its favourable flame characteristics of both high temperature and high propagation rates. Other fuel gases, such as propane, propylene or natural gas, produce insufficient heat input for welding but are used for cutting, torch brazing and soldering.

In which of these cases would it be most useful to use a mole to calculate the number of particles?
Ivan
I believe it would be the last one because you can use the molar mass of HCl to find the number of moles, then use Avogadro’s number to find the number of atoms
Hope this helps!

Methane CH4 (g) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. ____________________________________________________
nordsb [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equations are written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For a:</u> Methane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

  • <u>For b:</u> Butane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

This is also an example of combustion reaction.

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

  • <u>For c:</u> An aqueous solution of sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce potassium sulfate and water.

When an acid reacts with a base, it leads to the formation of salt and water. This reaction is known as neutralization reaction

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid follows:

H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
