First the element has to be stable. One chooses the easiest way to make the element stable. for example : Al has 13 electrons and you want to make it stable, you consider the outermost electrons where in AL the are three so it is easier for Al to lose three than to gain five

8). How many moles of oxygen gas must be placed in a 35.0 L container in order
klemol [59]

Answer:

4.1 moles

Explanation:

Applying

PV = nRT................ equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make n the subject  of the equation

n = PV/RT.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 35 L , P = 2.8 atm, T = 15 °C  = (15+273) = 288 K, R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (35×2.8)/(0.083×288)

n = 4.1 moles

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential +0.80 V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. Minimum 1.70 V

b. There is no maximum.

Explanation:

We can solve this question by remembering that the cell potential is given by the formula

ε⁰ cell = ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation

Now the problem states the cell must provide at least 0.9 V and that the reduction potential of the  oxidized species  0.80 V, thus

ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation ≥  ε⁰ cell

Since ε⁰  oxidation is by definition the negative of ε⁰ reduction , we have

ε⁰ reduction - ( 0.80 V )  ≥  0.90 V

⇒ ε⁰ reduction  ≥ 1.70 V

Therefore,

(a) The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.70 V

(b) There is no maximum standard reduction potential since it is stated in the question that we want to have a cell that provides at leat 0.9 V

To reduce 16 ounces of a 25% solution of antiseptic to a 10% solution, how much distilled water should a nurse add?
NemiM [27]
<span>Let x = amt of distilled water
:
A simple equation
.25(16) = .10(x+16)
4 = .10x + 1.6

4 - 1.6 = .1x
2.4 = .1x
x = 2.4/0.1
x = 24 oz of distilled water
:
:
Prove this by seeing the amt of antiseptic is the same (only the % changes)
.25(16) = .10(24+16)
4 = .1(40)
