K = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

Step 1. Determine the value of n

Zn^(2+) + 2e^(-) → Zn

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

Zn^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) → Zn + Cl_2

∴ n = 2

Step 2. Calculate K

logK = nE°/0.0592 V = [2 × (-2.12 V)]/0.0592 V = -71.62

K = 10^(-71.62) = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

Based on the position of the elements in the periodic table, what is the charge of the ions they are most likely to form?

Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

The charge on an ion denotes the amount of electrons lost or gained or even shared by an atom.

An atom will lose, gain or share an equal amount of electrons that will make it stable and achieve an octet and perfect configuration.

This is often synonymous with the component number of electrons in their outermost shell. The valence shell.

For metals on the periodic table, they are always willing to give up electrons due to their large electropositivity.

Metals will give up the number of electrons in their outermost shell to become stable.

Groups 1 and Group 2 will have charges +1 and +2 on them.

For non-metals , they will gain the exact number of electrons that will make them stable. We must note that half -filled and fully filled orbitals are equally stable.

Elements in groups 6 and 7 are electronegative and will have a charge of -2 and -1 respectively.

For those in groups 3, 4 and 5 they either gain, lose or share commensurate amount of electrons that will make them stable.

Group 8 elements are stable and have no charges.

Generally on the periodic table, metals are to the left and are always positively charged. Non - metals are to the right and are negatively charged.

What do plants do that requires Energy?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis uses energy from light to convert water and carbon dioxide molecules into glucose (sugar molecule) and oxygen. The oxygen is released, or “exhaled”, from leaves while the energy contained within glucose molecules is used throughout the plant for growth, flower formation, and fruit development.

Cutting a piece of paper in half proves that solids have no definite shape. True or False?

erma4kov [3.2K]

False. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Cutting a paper (solid) in half will alter the shape of the original solid and give it a new shape and volume instead. A solid will always have a definite shape. If not, it's not a solid.

What mass of cu(s)cu(s) is electroplated by running 14. 5 aa of current through a cu2 (aq)cu2 (aq) solution for 4. 00 hh?

galina1969 [7]

The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g

<h3>What is electroplating?</h3>

The process of plating a metal onto another is known as electroplating.

It is often used to prevent corrosion of metal or for the decorative purposes

In this process, electric current is passed through an aqueous solution containing dissolved cations.

The dissolved cations are reduced developing a thin metal coating on the electrode.

At cathode,

$Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

Current, I = 14.5 A

Time, t = 4 hrs = 4×60×60 = 14400 sec

Charge, q = It = 14.5×14400= 208800 C

Copper metal deposited by 2×96487 C = 63.55 g

Copper metal deposited by 208800 C = $\frac{63.55 \times208800}{2\times96487}$

= 68.76g

Hence, The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g

Identify what type of reaction is below. Also, determine what coefficients that would balance the chemical equation. ___ C4H10 +

Evgen [1.6K]

This is a combustion reaction because it is being combined with oxygen. Then to balance you will put the number of carbons you have or 4 in front of the CO2 and then same with H2. Then you will add up the oxygen and divide it by two to get. 1, (13/2), 4, 5
