23 which term identifies the half-reaction that occurs at the anode of an operating electro­chemical cell?
(1) oxidation (3) neutralization
(2) reduction (4) transmutation

The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

Electrochemical cell is defined as the device that is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. In this cell, oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

For the given options:

Option 1: Oxidation reaction

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of this substance gets increased and the substance gets oxidized.

Option 2: Reduction reaction

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of this substance gets reduced and the substance gets reduced.

Option 3: Neutralization reaction

Neutralization reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

Option 4: Transmutation

This is defined as the process in which a nucleus is converted to another nucleus.

From the above information, at anode, oxidation reaction occurs. Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
