A compound is broken down into 34.5 g of element a, 18.2 g of element b, and 2.6 g of element

1 answer:

8 0

First, find the total mass.

34.5 g + 18.2 g + 2.6 g = 55.3 g

Divide the mass of each element by total mass.

34.5 g / 55.3 g = .62 x 100 = 62% element a

18.2 g / 55.3 = .33 x 100 = 33% element b

2.6 g / 55.3 = .047 x 100 = 4.7% element c

Hope I helped!

Calculate the electrical energy per gram of anode material for the following reaction at 298 K:

solmaris [256]

43.8 kJ

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?

The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.

Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, n, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.

Let $w_\text{max}$ represents the electrical energy produced.

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E_\text{cell}$ , where

n is the number of moles electrons transferred,
F is the Faraday's constant,
E $_\text{cell}$ is the cell potential,

n = 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

F = 96.486 kJ / ( $\text{V} \cdot \text{mol} \; \text{e}^{-}$ ).

Therefore,

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E\\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 0.144 \times 96.486 \times 3.15 \\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 43.8 \; \text{kJ}$ .

10. Which of the following best describes the reaction 2VO3– (aq) + Zn (s) + 8H+ (aq) → 2VO2 (aq) + Zn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l)? ______

Oduvanchick [21]

Correct answer is option E. It is a redox reaction in which Zn is oxidized at the anode, and V is reduced at the cathode.

Reason:
In above reaction, the oxidation state of VO3- is +5, while that of VO2 is +4. Thus there is reduction of V from +5 to +4
In case of Zn, oxidation state of Zn is increased from 0 to +2, Thus process is referred as oxidation.

What makes a compound a strong acid or base

SOVA2 [1]

If the acid is 100 percent dissociated in solutions of 1.0 M or less, it is called strong. Sulfuric acid is considered strong only in its first dissociation step; 100 percent dissociation isn't true as solutions become more concentrated.
