Yes formation of a limestone caver is a physical change because a carving does not change the substance (limestone) it is still a limestone.

Calculate E ° for the half‑reaction, AgCl ( s ) + e − − ⇀ ↽ − Ag ( s ) + Cl − ( aq ) given that the solubility product constant
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

Explanation:

Equation for solubility equilibrium is as follows.

          AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Its solubility product will be as follows.

       K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

Cell reaction for this equation is as follows.

     Ag(s)| AgCl(s)|Cl^{-}(0.1 M)|| Ag^{+}(1.0 M)| Ag(s)

Reduction half-reaction: Ag^{+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s),  E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.799 V

Oxidation half-reaction: Ag(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + 1e^{-},   E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = ?

Cell reaction: Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s)

So, for this cell reaction the number of moles of electrons transferred are n = 1.

    Solubility product, K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

                                               = 1.77 \times 10^{-10}

Therefore, according to the Nernst equation

           E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

At equilibrium, E_{cell} = 0.00 V

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

        0.00 = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{1} log \frac{1}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}    

       E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{0.0592}{1} log \frac{1}{K_{sp}}

                  = 0.0591 V \times log \frac{1}{1.77 \times 10^{-10}}

                  = 0.577 V

Hence, we will calculate the standard cell potential as follows.

           E^{o}_{cell} = E^{o}_{cathode} - E^{o}_{anode}

       0.577 V = E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       0.577 V = 0.799 V - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = 0.222 V

Thus, we can conclude that value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they
Ad libitum [116K]
Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.

A sample of C3H8 has 3.20 × 1024 H atoms. How many carbon atoms does the sample contain? What is the total mass of the sample in
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>A sample of C3H8 has 3.20 × 10^24 H atoms.

We will use Avogadro's number for this problem. Avogadro's number states that there are 6.022x 10^23 atoms per mole of a substance. We will use dimensional analysis, notice how the units cancel in the computation below:

</span>3.20 × 10^24 atoms H * (1 mole H/6.022x 10^23 atoms H) * (3 moles C/8 moles H) * (6.022x 10^23 atoms C/1 mole C) = 1.2 x 10^24 atoms C

To get the total mass of the sample in grams, let us note that there are 3 moles of carbon and 8 moles of hydrogen per mole of C3H8, and using the molecular weights of C (12 g/mol) and H  (1 g/mol), we get (12*3)+(1*8)= 44 g/mol as the molar mass.

3.20 × 10^24 atoms H * (1 mole H/6.022x 10^23 atoms H) * (1 mole C3H8/8 moles H) * (44 g C3H8 / 1 mole C3H8) = 29.23 g C3H8<span>
