(a)
Interpretation:
If the given half reaction shows oxidation or reduction should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In a
When a species loss electron/s, its oxidation state increases thus, increase in oxidation state is oxidation similarly, when a species gains electron/s, its oxidation state decreases thus, decrease in oxidation state is reduction.
In a cell, the oxidation takes place at anode electrode and reduction takes place at cathode electrode.
(b)
Interpretation:
The substance that oxidized or reduced should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
In a chemical reaction, oxidation is defined as loss of electron/s and reduction is defined as gain of electron/s.
When a species loss electron/s, its oxidation state increases thus, increase in oxidation state is oxidation similarly, when a species gains electron/s, its oxidation state decreases thus, decrease in oxidation state is reduction.
In a cell, the oxidation takes place at anode electrode and reduction takes place at cathode electrode.
(c)
Interpretation:
The electrode at which the given half reaction takes place should be determined.

Draw and label all possible isomers for [M(py)3(DMSO)2(CI)] (py = pyridine, DMSO dimethylsulfoxide).arrow_forwardThe emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forwardSteps and explanation pleasearrow_forward
