Answer:

Explanation:

Pellet form of NaOH is highly hygroscopic . It absorbs moisture from air and its weight is increased by the time one tries to weigh one gram of it . Moreover it also reacts with carbon dioxide gas of atmosphere to form sodium carbonate .

2 NaOH + CO₂ = Na₂CO₃ + H₂0.

It also increases its weight .

A voltaic cell is based on the following two half-reactions: ni 2(aq) 2e− → ni(s) e° = −0. 25 v cr 3(aq) 3e– → cr(s) e° = –0. 74
emmasim [6.3K]

The net cell reaction is given as 3 Ni²⁺ (aq) + 2 Cr (s) = 2 Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3 Ni (s), and the cell potential is 0.49 V.

<h3>What is a half-cell reaction?</h3>

A half cell reaction is given as the oxidation or the reduction reaction that takes place at each of the anode or the cathode, forming the net redox reaction.

The cell potential and the half-reactions are:

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ = Ni (s)     E° = -0.25 V

Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ = Cr (s)     E° = -0.74 V

The anodic reaction is given as:

Cr (s) = Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻     E° = 0.74 V

The cathodic reaction is given as:

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ = Ni (s)     E° = -0.25 V

Thus, the net reaction of the cell will be:

3 Ni²⁺ (aq) + 2 Cr (s) = 2 Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3 Ni (s)

The cell potential can be calculated as:

E° = E (cathode) + E (anode)

E° = 0.74 + (-0.25) V

E° = 0.49 V

Thus, the net cell reaction is given as 3 Ni²⁺ (aq) + 2 Cr (s) = 2 Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3 Ni (s), and the cell potential is 0.49 V.

What is the frequency and energy per quantum (in Joules) of :
viktelen [127]

(a) f = 5.00 × 10²⁰ Hz, E = 3.32 × 10⁻¹³ J;

(b) f = 1.20 × 10¹⁰ Hz, E = 7.96 × 10⁻²⁴J.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the similarity between a gamma ray and a microwave?

Both gamma rays and microwave rays are electromagnetic radiations. Both travel at the speed of light at 3.00 \times 10^{8}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1} in vacuum.

f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda}

where

  • f is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation,
  • c is the speed of light, and
  • \lambda is the wavelength of the radiation.

(a)

Convert all units to standard ones.

\lambda = 0.600\;\text{pm} = 0.600 \times 10^{-12} \;\text{m}.

The unit of f shall also be standard.

f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3.00\times 10^{8}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{0.600\times 10^{12}\;\text{m}} = 5.00 \times 10^{20}\;\text{s}^{-1}= 5.00\times 10^{20}\;\text{Hz}.

For each particle,

E = h\cdot f,

where

  • E is the energy of the particle,
  • h is the planck's constant where h = 6.63\times 10^{-34}\;\text{J}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}, and
  • f is the frequency of the particle.

E = h \cdot f = 6.63\times10^{-34}\;\text{J}\cdot\text{s}\times 5.00\times 10^{20}\;\text{s}^{-1} = 3.32\times10^{-13}\;\text{J}.

(b)

Try the steps in (a) for this beam of microwave with

  • \lambda = 2.50 \;\text{cm} = 2.50\times 10^{-2}\;\text{m}.

Expect the following results:

  • f = 1.20\times 10^{10}\;\text{Hz}, and
  • E = 7.96\times 10^{-24}\;\text{J}.

What is a homogenous mixtures
Veronika [31]

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

A mixture which has uniform composition throughout its mass is called homogeneous mixture. The word "homo" means "same". For example, when you completely dissolve salt in the water, you form a homogeneous mixture.

Explain how camaflouge is an adaption
suter [353]
Camouflage is an adaptation because you change yourself for better survival.

For example, an Octopus can change the color of its body to blend in with its surroundings which makes it hard for predators and prey to see them.
