Question

What does a positive standard reduction potential mean about a given element?

The element is more readily oxidized than hydrogen.

The element is more readily oxidized than most other elements.

The element is more readily reduced than hydrogen.

The element is more readily reduced than most other elements.

Answer 1

I also had another question to ask.

Answer 2

Since hydrogen has a 0 standard reduction potential, and elements with more positive standard reduction potential are more easily reduced.

Answer 3

So, is would be "The element is more readily reduced than most other elements."

Answer 4

Voltaic cells produce a positive overall charge. What does this indicate?

The reaction is likely to be endothermic.

The reaction is spontaneous.

The reaction is not likely to occur.

The reaction is not spontaneous.

Answer 5

it*

Answer 6

No, than hydrogen.

Answer 7

So C for the first one. What do you think for the second one?

Answer 8

Alright my bad haha!
for the second question I'm certain it's not "The reaction is not spontaneous."

Answer 9

Good, that is true. :-)

Answer 10

And no worries. :-)

Answer 11

And I don't believe that it is "The reaction is spontaneous.", either.

Answer 12

Hm, if you are sure that is is not spontaneous, why do you think it wouldn't be spontaneous?

Answer 13

My teacher told me it was wrong, so I'm just going off of that.

Answer 14

Would you have picked spontaneous?

Answer 15

I was thinking it said a positive overall reduction potential, which would be spontaneous. But for a positive overall charge...

Answer 16

I think it might be "The reaction is not likely to occur."

Answer 17

Hm, that basically means the same thing as nonspontaneous.

Answer 18

So, all we have left is "The reaction is likely to be endothermic."

Answer 19

Hm, I don't think that we can tell that.

Answer 20

@JFraser what do you think?

Answer 21

@JFraser

Answer 22

which question are we looking at now?

Answer 23

Voltaic cells produce a positive overall charge. What does this indicate?

The reaction is likely to be endothermic.

The reaction is spontaneous.

The reaction is not likely to occur.

The reaction is not spontaneous.

Answer 24

This question.

Answer 25

I had to move to fourth block.

Answer 26

do you have an equation for cell potential and spontaneous reactions?

Answer 27

No, this was all the question was.

Answer 28

I know it's not D or A for sure.

Answer 29

you're right so far

Answer 30

a spontaneous reaction is one where \(\Delta G\) is negative, have you done that before?

Answer 31

Yes, I think I know the answer for this.

Answer 32

I hate to ask another question but I'm stuck on this.

Answer 33

Electrical potential is the amount of energy that is available to do what?

attract atoms to each other

move atoms from one half cell to another half cell

move electrons from anode to cathode

move electrons from cathode to anode

Answer 34

I know this isn't A.

Answer 35

I think it might be either C or D.

Answer 36

When the electrical potential is positive, the electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. And when the electrical potential is negative, the electrons flow from the cathode to the anode.

Answer 37

So it is kind of both. But I think it is looking for C.

Answer 38

Dude.

Answer 39

Ima gonna marry you.

Answer 40

Lol ;-)

Answer 41

Like I'm gonna take you out one day.

Answer 42

Haha, glad to help. :-)
