Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)

Dovator [93]

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. $Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the half-reactions:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)$

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)$

With this in mind we can add the electrons:

$Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)$ Reduction

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~$ Oxidation

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

$Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_)$ - 0.69 V

$Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_)$ -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to flip the reduction potential value:

$Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~$ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to add the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = 0.97 V

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

$Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)$

I hope it helps!

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Due to the presence of caustic soda in sodium hypo chlorite, the pH of the water is increased. When sodium hypo chlorite dissolves in water, two substances form, which play a role in for oxidation and disinfection. These are hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the less active hypochlorite ion (OCl-).

This is an incomplete question, the given sketch is shown below.

Answer : The name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

Explanation :

Unit cell : It is defined as the smallest 3-dimensional portion of a complete space lattice which when repeated over the and again in different directions produces the complete space lattice.

There are three types of unit cell.
