- Give balanced equations for the overall reaction in the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride and for the reactions occurring at the electrodes. You may wish to review the Chapter on electrochemistry for relevant examples.arrow_forwardComplete the following Latimer diagram Can iodine be obtained by reaction between iodide and iodate in an acid medium? Write the reactions and calculate (numerically) if the reaction is spontaneousarrow_forwardThe following unbalanced reaction has been suggested for the dissolution of metallic zinc in a concentrated aqueous solution of nitric acid. Write a balanced reaction for this chemical process.arrow_forward
- Nitric acid and sulphuric acid are compounds of nitrogen and sulphur respectively.• With the aid of equations, show how each of these acts as an oxidizing agent• Give and outline for the manufacture of any one of the acids. State– with a reason in each case, two large scale uses of the acid chosen.• Describe how a dilute sample of either nitric acid or sulphuric acid may be prepared from a concentrated sample.arrow_forwarda Nitrogen(I) oxide and hydrogen gases react to form ammonia gas and steam. b Hydrogen peroxide reacts with an acidic aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite to form oxygen and chlorine gases. C Tin metal reduces the vanadyl ion (VO²+) to vanadium(III) ions in acidic solution. Tin(II) ions are also formed.arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In oxygen fixation, the alkaline-iodide-azide solution was used to acidify the solution. The brown hydrated precipitate that formed in the process of oxygen fixation was magnesium hydroxide. 2.Visual inspection is enough to determine if water is of appropriate quality. The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international standards. 3.Deeper levels of water often do not reach 100% air saturation equilibrium because they are not shallow enough to be affected by the waves and photosynthesis at the surface. The dissolved oxygen content is an important index when considering its suitability for town supply. 4. The normality (N) of a solution is determined by multiplying the molarity of the solution by its volume. In the standardization of the sodium thiosulfate…arrow_forward
- Electrolysis of strontium chloride gives strontium metal and chlorine gas. What mass of the chloride must be electrolyzed to form one liter of Cl2 (g)at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardPhosphoric and acetic acids are considered to be weak acids; that is, they do not dissociate completely into ions. Were there any differences in reaction rates with magnesium between these two acids? If so, what distinguishing feature of the acids might explain the differences?arrow_forwardA compound ‘X’ on electrolysis in aqueous solution produces a strong base. ‘Y’ along with two gases ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘B’ is used in manufacture of bleaching powder. Identify X, Y,A and B. Write chemical equations.arrow_forward
- Michael Faraday reported that passing electricity through one solution liberated 1 mass of hydrogen at the cathode and 8 masses of oxygen at the anode. The same quantity of electricity liberated 36 masses of chlorine at the anode and 58 masses of tin at the cathode from a second solution. What were the oxidation states of hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, and tin in these solutions?arrow_forwardDescribe the preparation of potassium permanganate. How does the acidified permanganate solution react with oxalic acid? Write the ionic equations for the reactions.arrow_forwardThomas has a manufacturing plant that produces silicon for sensors. They produce silicon from silicon dioxide following the chemical reaction: Thomas found that the rate of silica manufacturing was not at a satisfactory level. As a chemist, how would you propose to increase the production of silica in Thomas’s manufacturing plant? Propose at least FOUR (4) solutions with justification and choose the best solution.arrow_forward
