Answer:
Explanation:
Trick question. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place. The reduction reaction is the gain of electrons.
Pb+2 + 2e^- ===> Pb The eo for that is - 0.126.
The minus sign indicates that the Pb^2+ is not overjoyed at taking on those two electrons. If it had a say in the matter, it would rather be giving up electrons. In other words, it would rather be the oxidizing equation which would look like this
Pb ===> Pb+2 + 2e^- and the oxidizing potential would be eo = + 0.126
That's what moving right and moving left means. If the eo is - then the preferred reaction is the opposite one.
This is a real language problem and if Znk answers you can take his answer to the bank.
Reason1: electrons on farther layers become free easyer
2nd reason: volume of atoms grows (from Helium to Xeon) so instead of boyle-mariot law equation (PV=vRT) is more accurate to use van der walls equations that adds to the boyle-mariot equation the volume occupied by the atoms of the gas to the volume of the space between the atoms P(Vm-b)=vRT
Answer:
0.0428 M
Explanation:
Because we're asked to calculate the molarity of nickel(II) cation, we need to <u>determine all sources for that species</u>, in this case, all Ni⁺² comes from the nickel(II) bromide solid (NiBr₂).
We use the molecular weight of NiBr₂ to calculate the moles of Ni:
1.87 g NiBr₂ ÷ 218.49g/mol * (1molNi⁺²/1molNiBr₂) = 8.55x10⁻³ mol Ni⁺²
Then we <u>divide the moles by the volume in order to calculate the concentration</u>:
8.55x10⁻³ mol Ni⁺² / 0.200 L = 0.0428 M
