1. Complete the following table summarizing the general properties of the electrodes in an electrolytic cell. Electrode Oxidation or Reduction Sign of Electrode Anode Cathode
Below are listed some chemical reactions frequently encountered in environmental studies. Indicate the type of chemical reaction they belong to. For the oxidation/reaction reaction(s), please indicate which redox pair is a cathode and an anode. Also indicate how many electrons are gained and lost in each half reaction. (Hint: First find out the number of electrons gained or lost by each element, then calculate the total number of gained and lost electrons in the whole reaction.) a. CaCO3 (S) Ca²+ + CO3²- b. H+ + OH → H₂O(1) c. O2(g) + 2 H2 (g)→ 2 H₂O + heat d. CO32- + H+ HCO3 e. H4Y (EDTA) + Cu²+ → CuY2- + 4H+ f. O₂ + 4 Fe²+ + 4H+ 4 Fe³+ + 2 H₂O
Please answer number 6
9. Corrosion of metals is a serious concern in industries. Some metals are made "rust proof" with the addition of a second metal. For example, galvanized nails are used in construction products outdoors as the nails won't easily rust even moist environments. Galvanized nails are made of iron coated in zinc. a. The oxidation of iron involves the reduction of oxygen gas with water. Find the reduction potential for this half reaction. (You'll need this number to help answer the other parts of this question!) b. The oxidation half reaction involves iron losing electrons. Iron ion, however, has two possible oxidation states. Which ion, Fe2+ or Fe³+, do you predict would form more spontaneously with the half reaction from part a. Explain.
When writing oxidation or reduction half reactions, always place the correct number of electrons on the side with the larger oxidation state. The reaction must also be balanced for mass (the number of atoms) and for charge. (Remember: Reduction - gaining - electrons on the left, Oxidation - losing - electrons on the right) C) Balance each of the following half reactions by placing the correct number of electrons into the equation. 1) Mg Mg2+ 2) H₂ → 2H* 3) Cu²+ → Cuº 4) 2Br → Br₂⁰ 5) Al 6) Cu* → Cu → A1³+
