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

What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?
sergey [27]

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

8. The standard enthalpy of formation of RbF(s) is –557.7kJ/mol and the standard enthalpy of formation of RbF(aq, 1 m) is –583.8
garri49 [273]

Explanation:

Given

The enthalpy of formation of RbF (s) is –557.7kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of RbF (aq, 1 m) is –583.8 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of solution of RbF = Enthalpy of RbF (aq) - Enthalpy of formation of RbF (s)

= -583.8 - (-557.7)  kJ/mol

= -26.1 kJ/mol

The enthalpy is negative which means that the temperature will rise when RbF is dissolved.

Consider the reaction between acetylene, c2h2, and oxygen in a welding torch: 2c2h2(g) + 5o2(g) → 4co2(g) + 2h2o(g) if 5.4 moles
fredd [130]
<span>                                      2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
   from the reaction     2 mol                              4 mol
from the problem      5.4 mol                         10.8 mol

M(CO2) = 12.0 +2*16.0 = 44.0 g/mol
10.8 mol CO2 * 44.0 g CO2/1 mol CO2 = 475.2 g CO2 </span>≈480 = 4.8 * 10² g
Answer is  C. 4.8*10² g.
