ad-work [718]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

            Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting <u>Electrons</u>.

Explanation:

                   The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

                    Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

                   Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

Whats the voltage of CuCl2 + Zn -&gt; ZnCl2 + Cu
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Approximately 1.10\; {\rm V} under standard conditions.

Explanation:

Equation for the overall reaction:

{\rm CuCl_{2}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm ZnCl_{2}} \, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s).

Write down the ionic equation for this reaction:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s)\\ & \to {\rm Zn^{2+}} \, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s)\end{aligned}.

The net ionic equation for this reaction would be:

{\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s).

In this reaction:

  • Zinc loses electrons and was oxidized (at the anode): {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}}.
  • Copper gains electrons and was reduced (at the cathode): {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s).

Look up the standard potentials for each half-reaction on a table of standard reduction potentials.

Notice that {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} is oxidation and is likely not on the table of standard reduction potentials. However, the reverse reaction, {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s), is reduction and is likely on the table.

  • E(\text{anode}) = -0.7618\; {\rm V} for {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s), and
  • E(\text{cathode}) = 0.3419\; {\rm V} for {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s).

The reduction potential of {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} would be -E(\text{anode}) = -(-0.7618\; {\rm V}) = 0.7618\; {\rm V}, the opposite of the reverse reaction {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s).

The standard potential of the overall reaction would be the sum of the standard potentials of the two half-reactions:

\begin{aligned} E^{\circ} &= E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) + (-E^{\circ}(\text{anode})) \\ &= 0.3419 - (-0.7618\; {\rm V}) \\ &\approx 1.10\; {\rm V}\end{aligned}.

Why did the food coloring separate into different dyes?
Dmitrij [34]

It is a mixture

Explanation:

Food coloring is able to separate into different dyes because it just a simple mixture of different color pigments.

Under a chromatogram the different colors will migrate relatively over an absorbent.

A mixture is an impure substance with the following properties:

  • composition is indefinite as they are made up of two or more elements or compounds in any proportion by mass.
  • They are able to retain their identities i.e physical properties are maintained.
  • Their constituents reacts differently to changed conditions.
  • They can easily be separated into constituent by physical methods.

Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The Equilibrium will shift towards the left.

Explanation:

The reaction for the formation of nitric oxide is follows,

N_2(g)+O_2(g)\leftrightarrow2NO(g)

Expression for reaction quotient is as follows,

Q=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}

Putting the values according to the data given and calculating reaction quotient for the reaction

Q=0.16

So, the reaction quotient is 0.16.

and the value of K is 0.01 .

Q>K

Since the value of K is less than Q, therefore the reaction will shift towards left.

A sample of argon has a volume of 6.0 cm 3 and the pressure is 0.87 atm. If the final temperature is 35 degrees celsius, the fin
____ [38]

Answer:

= 36.185 °C

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

In this case;

P1 = 0.87 atm

V1 = 6.0 cm³

T1 = ?

P2 = 0.52 atm

V2 = 10 cm³

T2 = 35 °C + 273 = 308 K

Therefore;

T1 = P1V1T2/P2V2

   = ( 0.87 × 6.0 × 308)/( 0.52 ×10)

   = 309.185 K

Therefore; Initial temperature = 309.185 K - 273 = 36.185 °C
