Answer:

magnesium metal

Explanation:

According to the redox reaction equation, six electrons were transferred hence n=6 and F= Faraday's constant 96500C. ∆G° is given hence E°cell can easily be calculated as follows:

From ∆G°= -nFE°cell

E°cell= -∆G°/nF= -(-411×10^3/96500×6)

E°cell= 0.7098V

But for Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell, E°= -1.66V from standard table of reduction potentials.

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode but Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell is the cathode

Hence

E°anode=E°cathode - E°cell

E°anode= -1.66-0.7098= -2.37V

This is the reduction potential of Mg hence the anode material was magnesium metal

Patient added a 17-g measured dose of polyethylene glycol 3350 (MIRALAX) to 180 mL of water to use as a laxative. If the volume
Sergio [31]

Answer: Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

Specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

Explanation:

The specific gravity of an object or substance is the ratio of the density of that object or substance to that of a reference substance usually water.

<em>Specific gravity = density of substance/density of water</em>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass of that substance to is volume.

<em>Density = Mass/volume</em>

Density of water 1.00 g/mL,  

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = mass/volume

volume of ethylene glycol = volume of mixture - volume of water

volume of ethylene glycol = 195.6 - 180) = 15.6mL

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

<em>mass of water =  density of water * volume of water</em>

mass of water = 1.00g/mL * 180mL = 180 g

Mass of solution = mass of substance + mass of water = (17 + 180)g = 197g

Density of mixture = mass of mixture / volume of mixture

Density of mixture = 197 g / 195.6 mL = 1.01 g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = density of mixture / density of water

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01g/mL / 1.00g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

A mixture of gases with a pressure of 800.0 mm hg contains 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen by volume. What is the partial pressure o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

  • <em>The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture is</em><u> 320.0 mm Hg</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Take a base of 100 liters of mixture</u>:

  • N: 60% × 100 liter  = 60 liter

  • O: 40 % × 100 liter = 40 liter.

<u>2) Volume fraction:</u>

At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules.

Then, the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio. Callin n₁ and n₂, the number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, and V₁, V₂ the volume of the respective gases you can set the proportion:

  • V₁ / V₂ = n₁ / n₂

That means that the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio, and the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.

Then, since the law of partial pressures of gases states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure, you can draw the conclusion that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the volume fraction of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.

Then calculate the volume fractions:

  • Volume fraction of a gas = volume of the gas / volume of the mixture

  • N: 60 liter / 100 liter = 0.6 liter

  • V: 40 liter / 100 liter = 0.4 liter

<u>3) Partial pressures:</u>

These are the final calculations and results:

  • Partial pressure = volume fraction × total pressure

  • Partial pressure of N = 0.6 × 800.0 mm Hg = 480.0 mm Hg

  • Partial pressure of O = 0.4 × 800.0 mm Hg = 320.0 mm Hg

How does sediment form?
Andrews [41]
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location. Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals. It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder. Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.
