a) When the reaction takes place a yellow precipitate will be formed.
b) The law of conservation of mass is true.
<u>Explanation:</u>
a) When a lead nitrate solution is mixed with a potassium chromate solution, a yellow precipitate containing lead forms according to the equation:
→
b) Law of conservation of mass for the given reaction is true.
From the given table we know the mass of reactants and its products.
Law of conservation of mass is a principle when a reaction takes place in a closed system, the mass of the products and reactants in the system doesn't change.
⇒The sum of the mass of the reactants = The sum of the mass of the products.
The sum of the reactants = 128.71+128.97.
= 257.68 g.
The sum of the products = 154.10+103.58.
= 257.68 g.
Thus law of conservation of mass is true for the above reaction.
Answer:
-1.05 V
Explanation:
A detailed diagram of the setup as required in the question is shown in the image attached to this answer. The electrolytes chosen are SnCl2 for the anode half cell and MnCl2 for the cathode half cell. Tin rod and manganese rod are used as the anode and cathode materials respectively. Electrons flow from anode to cathode as indicated. The battery connected to the set up drives this non spontaneous electrolytic process.
Oxidation half equation;
Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e
Reduction half equation:
Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Mn(s)
Cell voltage= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode= -1.19V
E°anode= -0.14 V
Cell voltage= -1.19 V - (-0.14V)
Cell voltage= -1.05 V
