Balance each of the following half-reactions. a.I(aq)I2(s)b.O2(g)O2(s)c.P4(s)P3(s)d.Cl2(g)Cl(aq)arrow_forwardConsider the following cell running under standard conditions: Fe(s)Fe2+(aq)Al3+(aq)Al(s) a Is this a voltaic cell? b Which species is being reduced during the chemical reaction? c Which species is the oxidizing agent? d What happens to the concentration of Fe3+(aq) as the reaction proceeds? e How does the mass of Al(s) change as the reaction proceeds?arrow_forwardFour metals, A, B, C, and D, exhibit the following properties: (a) Only A and C react with 1.0 M hydrochloric acid to give H2(g). (b) When C is added to solutions of the ions of the other metals, metallic B, D, and A are formed. (c) Metal D reduces Bn+ to give metallic B and Dn+. Based on this information, arrange the four metals in order of increasing ability to act as reducing agents.arrow_forward
- Consider the following galvanic cell: Calculate the concentrations of Ag+(aq) and Ni2+(aq) once the cell is dead.arrow_forwardAn electrolytic cell is set up with Cd(s) in Cd(NO3)2(aq) and Zn(s) in Zn(NO3)2(aq). Initially both electrodesweigh 5.00 g. After running the cell for several hours theelectrode in the left compartment weighs 4.75 g. (a) Which electrode is in the left compartment? (b) Does the mass of the electrode in the right compartmentincrease, decrease, or stay the same? If the masschanges, what is the new mass? (c) Does the volume of the electrode in the right compartment increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the volumechanges, what is the new volume? (The density of Cd is8.65 g/cm3.)arrow_forwardDescribe what you expect to happen when the following solutions are electrolyzed: a aqueous Na2SO4; b aqueous KBr. That is, what are the electrode reactions? What is the overall reaction?arrow_forward
