Calculate the number of electron, proton and neutron in sulphide ion (S*-2)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mercury cell consists of a zinc vessel. This zinc vessel acts as anode. A carbon rod, placed in it, acts as cathode. Moist mercuric oxide mixed with KOH is used as electrolyte. It is placed between the two electrodes. A lining of porous paper is used to separate the electrolyte from anode.
Following reactions take place :
At anode : `Zn(s)+2OH^(-)(aq)rarrZnO(s)+H_(2)O(l)+2e^(-)`
At cathode : `HgO(s)+H_(2)O(l)+2e^(-)rarrHg(l)+2OH^(-)(aq)`
Overall cell reaction : `Zn(s)+HgO(s)rarrZnO(s)+Hg(l)`
