Zn(s) + Pb2+ (aq) → Zn2 + (aq) + Pb(s) In the completed external circuit, the electrons flow from:

A)    Pb(s) to Zn(s)B)    Pb2+(aq) to Zn2+(aq)C)    Zn(s) to Pb(s)D)    Zn2+(aq) to Pb2+(aq)Correct Answer: Option C - Zn(s) to Pb(s)

Correct Answer is flow of ions

All the metals listed above Mg in Reference Table J would be more readily oxidized (give up electrons

Correct answer: (2) Zn (s) ® Zn2+ (aq) + 2e-

Correct Answer:  (3) at the cathode in an electrolytic cell and the anode in a voltaic cell

Correct Answer: (3) +3

Correct answer: In a voltaic cell, the reaction is spontaneous. In an electrolytic cell, it is nonspontaneous.

Correct answer: Al+3 + 3e- →  Al

(1) is the correct answer.  Reduction means the gain of an electron, which removes the positive charge from potassium (because an electron is negatively charged).

(3) the total number of electrons lost equals the number of electrons gained.

Given the redox reaction: Ni + Sn4+ → Ni2+ + Sn2+

Which species has been oxidized?NiSn4+

Ni2+

Sn2+

Correct Answer is Ni

In the reaction: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g), the oxidizing agent is

H2 O2 H−

O2−

Correct answer is O2

The diagram shows a voltaic cell. The reaction occurs at 1 atmosphere and 298 K. When the switch is closed, what occurs? Pb is oxidized and electrons flow to the Zn electrode. Pb is reduced and electrons flow to the Zn electrode. Zn is oxidized and electrons flow to the Pb electrode. Zn is reduced and electrons flow to the Pb electrode.

Correct Answer is Choice 3

In the reaction: Pb + 2Ag+ → Pb2+ + 2Ag, the Ag+ isreduced, and the oxidation number changes

from +1 to 0reduced, and the oxidation number changes

from +2 to 0oxidized, and the oxidation number changes

from 0 to +1oxidized, and the oxidation number changes

from +1 to 0

Correct Answer is Choice 1

The diagram represents the electroplating of a metal fork with Ag(s). Which part of the electroplating is represented by the fork?the anode, which is the negative electrode the cathode, which is the negative electrode the anode, which is the positive electrode the cathode, which is the positive electrode

Correct Answer is Choice 2

The diagram represents the electroplating of a fork with Ag(s). Which equation represents the half-reaction that takes place at the fork?Ag+ + NO3

− → AgNO3 AgNO3 → Ag+ + NO3

−

Ag+ + e− → Ag(s)Ag(s) → Ag+ + e−

Correct Answer is Choice 3

What is the oxidation number of iodine in NaIO3?+1 +5 +3 +6

Correct Answer is +5

In the reaction: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, the magnesium is theoxidizing agent and is reducedoxidizing agent and is oxidizedreducing agent and is reducedreducing agent and is oxidized

Correct Answer is Choice 4

The diagram represents a chemical cell at 298 K and 1 atmosphere. Which species represents the cathode? Zn Zn2+

Cu Cu2+

Correct answer is Cu
