Q

What is a titration reaction

A

A titration is a technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Typically, the titrant (the know solution) is added from a buret to a known quantity of the analyte (the unknown solution) until the reaction is complete.

What is an electrolytic cell
Cell that converts electrical energy to chemical energy using a power supply
29
Two reactions for the electrolysis of water
Oxidation - 2H2O -> O2 + 4H^+ + 4ē | Reduction - 2H2O + 2ē -> H2 + 2OH^-
30
In a car battery during discharge what type of cell is it

31
In a car battery during recharging what type of cell is it

32
Why are most metals found combined with other metals
Most metals are reactive and have the tendency to lose electrons
33
Two forms of metal production

35
4 steps of the production of zinc

36
Why and how are metal ions such as Pb2+ and Cd2+ removed during zinc production
