Even though the toxicity of cadmium has become a concern, nickel-cadmium (nicad) batteries are still used commonly in many devic

es. The overall cell reaction isCd(s) + 2NiO(OH)(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2Ni(OH)(s) + Cd(OH)₂(s) A certain nicad battery weighs 18.3 g and has a capacity of 300. mA?h (that is, the cell can store charge equivalent to a current of 300. mA flowing for 1 h).(c) What percentage of the cell mass consists of reactants?

(a) the capacity of this cell is 1080 C .

(b) 1.856 g of the reactants is needed to deliver 300 mA hr .

(c)the percentage of the cell  mass consists of reactants is 14% .

(a) Given ,

current = 300 mA = 300 *10^-3 A

Time = 1 hr =3600 s

capacity of the cell is given by ,

= (300*10^-3) * (3600) = 1080 C

Hence ,the cell capacity of the cell is 1080 C .

(b) Given ,

current = 300 mA =300*10^-3 A

We know ,

1 F = 1 mole e^-

96500 C = 1mole e^-

1C = 1/ 96500 mole e^-

1080 C = 1080/96500 mole e^- =0.01119 mole e^-

the two half reaction of the cell is given by ,

Cd +2OH^- ==>2Cd(OH)2 +2e^-

2NiOOH +2H2O +2e^- ==> 2Ni(OH)2 =2OH^-

1 mole Cd = 112.4 g of Cd

2 mole e^- =112.4g of Cd

0.01119 mole e^- = 112.4g(0.01119m mole e^-) /2= 0.6288 g Cd

1mole NiOOH = 91.70 g of NiOOH

2 mole NiOOH = 2*91.70 g of NiOOH

2 mole e^- NiOOH =91.70*2 g of NiOOH

0.01119 mole e^- NiOOH = 91.70 * O.O1119 *2/2 =1.026 g NiOOH

1 mol of H2O = 18.02 g of H2O

2 mol of H2O = 2*18.02 =36.04 g of H2O

2 mole e^- of H2O = 36.04g of H2O

0.01119 mole e^- of H2O = 36.04 *0.01119/2 =0.2016 g of H2O

Mass of reactants needed

= 0.6288 g of Cd + 1.026 g of NiOOH + 0.2016 g of H2O = 1.856 g

Hence 1.856 g of the reactants is needed .

(c) % reactants mass

= mass of reactants *100/ mass of cell

= 1.856 *100 / 13.3 = 14 %

Hence , 14% of the cell mass consists of reactants .

A balloon filled with helium gas contains 8.89 moles of helium. How many atoms are present in the balloon? Show all of your work
NNADVOKAT [17]

There are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that number of moles of Helium = 8.89 moles

Moles and Avogadro's number are related to each other by multiplying those two we can convert moles into atoms, molecules and Particles .

We have to convert the moles into atoms by multiplying the molar amount by Avogadro's number as,

Number of atoms = 8.89 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

                             = 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms

So there are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.

What is the [H 30 +) in a solution with [OH = 1x10-12 M?
Contact [7]

Answer: The way to get the answer is to know and understand certain relationships between [H3O+] and [OH-].  One such relationship which you must know (memorize) is...

[H3O+] [OH-] = 1x10-14 = Kw  (the rest is algebra)

[H3O+] [1x10-12] = 1x10-14

[H3O+] = 1x10-14 / 1x10-12

[H3O+] = 1x10-2 = 0.01 M

A block of substance has a width of 3.8 cm, a length of 8.2 cm, and height of 7 cm . Its mass is 0.68 kg. Calculate the density
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

d = 3.11 g /cm³

Explanation:

Volume -

The volume of a cuboidal object can be calculated by multiplying the length , width and height ,

Hence , Volume ( V ) = l * w * h ,

From the question ,

l = 8.2 cm

w = 3.8 cm

h = 7 cm

Hence, the volume is ,

V = l * w * h

V = 8.2 cm * 3.8 cm * 7 cm

V = 218.12 cm³

Density -

Density of a substance is given as the mass divided by the volume ,

Hence,

d = m / V

From the question,

m = 0.68 kg

since ,

1 kg = 1000g

m = 0.68 * 1000 = 680 g

V = 218.12 cm³ ( calculated above )

Hence , the value of density can be calculated by using the above equation,

d = m / V

d = 680 g / 218.12 cm³

d = 3.11 g /cm³
