Gains. when theres a neutral atom it has an equal number protons and electrons(they all cancel which is what makes it neutral) so when it gains an electron there’s 1 more negative that doesn’t cancel so it changes the charge to negative.

Answer:

Gains

Explanation:

If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.

Hope this helps :)

A reaction occurs in a calorimeter, resulting in the starting and final temperatures shown below. What can you say about the rea
ELEN [110]

"The reaction is exothermic and ΔH is negative" can be understood about the reaction and the enthalpy change (ΔH) during the reaction.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the reaction is positive, the process becomes endothermic, i.e. heat appears to be consumed by the system because the reaction products are more enthalpic than the reactants. When the reaction is negative, on the other hand, the process is exothermic, which is the total decrease in enthalpy is caused by heat production. Here the initial temperature is 21.0 C but increase in final temperature to 38.8 C, because if some processes require heat, others must give off heat when they take place.

You are given the following three half-reactions:(1) Fe³⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇄ Fe²⁺(aq) (2) Fe²⁺(aq) +2e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s) (3) Fe³⁺(aq) +3e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s
RideAnS [48]

The E°half-cell of the (3) is 0.33 volts .

Given,

(1)  Fe3+(aq) +e =Fe2+(aq)

(2) Fe2+(aq) +2e = Fe(s)

(3) Fe3+(aq) +3e = Fe(s)

We know ,

E° half-cell of (1) is 0.77 volts .

E° half cell of ( 2) is -0.44 volts .

By resolving or adding equation 1 and 2 we will get (3) ,

Thus , the value of the E° half cell of (3) is given by ,

E°cell = E° half-cell of (1 ) + E° half-cell of (2 ) = 0.77-0.44 = 0.33 volts

Hence the E° half-cell of ( 3 ) is 0.33 volts .

<h3>What is cell potential? </h3>

It is the difference between the electrode potentials of two half cells.

it also defined as the force which causes the flow of electrons from one electrode to the another and thus results in the flow of current.

Ecell = E( cathode) - E ( anode)

<h3>What is electrode potential ? </h3>

The tendency of the electrode to lose of gain electrons is called as electrode potential.
