Answer:

Your questions requires diagrams of the cell to get which one is on the left or right. However, see the attached file below

The correct answer is (d) the left half-cell will decrease in concentration; and the right half-cell will increase in concentration.

Explanation:

The concentration of the Pb2+ increases in the oxidation half cell while the concentration of the Pb2+ decreases in the reduction half cell during the reaction.

In the Left Beaker (Left half cell), their is less concentration

Pb(s) ---> Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- Concentration of Pb2+(aq) increase ; Electrons going out from this side

In the Right Beaker (right half cell), their is more concentration

Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- ---> Pb(s) Concentration of Pb2+(aq) decrease ; Electrons coming in to this side

Electrons will flow from Left to Right direction.

The reaction (CH3)3CBr + OH- (CH3)3COH + Br- in a certain solvent is first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and zero order with r

son4ous [18]

Answer and Explanation:

The rate constant (K) is related to activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (A) and temperature (T) in Kelvin by the equation

R = molar gas constant

K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

Taking natural log of both sides

In K = In A - (Ea/RT)

In K = (-Ea/R)(1/T) + In A

Comparing this to the equation of a straight line; y = mx + c

y = In K, slope, m = (-Ea/R), x = (1/T) and intercept, c = In A

a) From the question, m = (-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) K

(-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) = -11000

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

Ea = -11000 × 8.314 = 91454 J/mol = 91.454 KJ/mol

b) c = In A = 33.5

A = e^33.5 = (3.54 × (10^14))/s

c) K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

A = (3.54 × (10^14))/s, Ea = 91454 J/mol, T = 25°C = 298.15 K, R = 8.314 J/K.mol

K = (3.54 × (10^14))(e^(-91454/(8.314×298.15))) = 0.0336/s

How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

Explanation:

Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,

15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
