I think they have written wrong, there is no logic how 4 atoms became 2 ions.. :S
i double checked the ms ryt now
there are 2 equations for this reaction in it:
2H2O - 2e- --> 2H+ + O2
and the other one is:
2H2O --> 2H+ + O2 + 2e-

again in both the equations the H is not balancing out...!! :/

2H2O --> 4H+(aq) + O2(g)
but in the marking scheme it is given:
2H2O --> 2H+ + O2 + 2e-

i just solved and ms is wrong
it has to be 4e- at the end!! :D

yes ms is wrong! it isnt like there are no mistakes in ms, i once read: potassium permanganate turns green! :p it was supposed to be colourless!!

Think time people!
Explain why all cell reactions are exhothermic and redox?(2)

If a solution contains dilute sulphuric acid and It has one ELECTRODE as Iron and Other ELECTRODE as Zinc! and Hydrogen gas evolves at Iron Electrode what would be the Anode? Give a reason for your choice(2)
2) anode would be the Zinc electrode cuz hydrogen being postive will emerge at Cathode

1) they give away energy so they are exothermic and redox reactions cuz one substance is oxidised while other is reduced!! :D

don't know about the first question exactly but for the second question is it simple cell or electrolytic?? if simple then the more reactive will b the anode (Zinc). is that ryt? :cautious:

they are exothermic coz they increase surrounding temperature :ROFLMAO: redox because oxidation takes place at negative electrode and redction at positive

Zinc is negative electrode because its more reactive so electrons flow from there to zinc and as Iron takes electrode its positive

Which of the following is correct about Ammonium Sulphte
1. Its gives of CO2 when heated with NaOH
2.It forms blue ppt when added to Barium Chloride
3.It can be made by adding sulphuric acid to ammonia
4.Farmers use it to make the soil alkaline.

P.S only one option is correct!
