Consider an electrolytic cell with a platinum anode and a silver cathode in a 1.0 M AgNO3(aq) solution.

a) (3 pts) What species can be reduced in this solution? Which species is preferentially reduced? Write the reduction half- reaction. (Note that oxyanions like nitrate are not commonly reduced in aqueous electrolysis due to kinetic reasons.)

b) (2 pts) Which species is oxidized during the electrolysis? Write the oxidation half-reaction. Note that acid will form as a byproduct of the oxidation.

c) (2 pts) Write the overall electrolysis reaction in net ionic and molecular forms.

d) (2 pts) Determine the external electric potential needed for the electrolysis under standard conditions.

e) (5 pts) If the electrolysis is carried out for 1.00 hour using 1.00 A current, how many grams of metal will be deposited at the cathode and how many liters of gas will form at the anode at 1.00 atm pressure and 25°C?

How do cfcs cause ozone depletion? how do cfcs cause ozone depletion? ultraviolet radiation breaks down cfcs, molecules containing chlorine. chlorine then breaks one oxygen atom away from ozone, leaving behind a paired oxygen molecule. ultraviolet radiation breaks down cfcs, molecules containing chlorine. chlorine then breaks two oxygen atoms away from ozone, leaving behind a paired oxygen molecule. ultraviolet radiation creates cfcs, molecules containing chlorine. chlorine then breaks two oxygen atoms away from ozone, leaving behind a paired oxygen molecule. ultraviolet radiation creates cfcs, molecules containing chlorine. chlorine then breaks one oxygen atom away from ozone, leaving behind a paired oxygen molecule.
