compare fission and fusion reactions and explain the difference between their energy input and output.

Zac releases the air from a balloon. Which statement best describes what will happen to the air that was inside the balloon?

ad-work [718]

The correct answer is the last option. When <span>Zac releases the air from a balloon, it will expand to fill the room. It will not expand in the sense that molecules will be big but the molecules will be more spread out into the room and more air molecules will be present to fill the room.</span>

Calculate for the following electrochemical cell at 25°C, Pt H2(g) (1.0 atm) H (0.010 M || Ag (0.020 M) Ag if E (H) - +0.000 V a

viva [34]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V

Solution :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V$

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V$

From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $H_2\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2e^-$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$H_2+2Ag^{+}\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2Ag$

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[H^{+}/H_2]}$

$E^o_{cell}=(+0.799V)-(+0.00V)=+0.799V$

Therefore, the standard cell potential will be +0.799 V

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Explanation:

Let’s remove the parentheses and write the formula as MgCl₂O₈.

We see that 1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ contains 1 mol Mg atoms, 2 mol Cl atoms, and 8 mol O atoms.

∴ $\text{Moles of Mg atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Mg atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{5.90 mol Mg atoms}$

$\text{Moles of Cl atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{2 mol Cl atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{11.8 mol Cl atoms}$

$\text{Moles of O atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{8 mol O atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{47.2 mol O atoms}$

∴ Mg, Cl, O = 5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Consider the reaction: N2(g) 2 O2(g)N2O4(g) Write the equilibrium constant for this reaction in terms of the equilibrium constan

Valentin [98]

Answer : The equilibrium constant for this reaction is, $K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

Explanation :

The given main chemical reaction is:

$N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_4(g)$ ; $K$

The intermediate reactions are:

(1) $N_2O_4(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$ ; $K_a$

(2) $\frac{1}{2}N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)$ ; $K_b$

We are reversing reaction 1 and multiplying reaction 2 by 2 and then adding both reaction, we get:

(1) $2NO_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_4(g)$ ; $\frac{1}{K_a}$

(2) $N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$ ; $(K_b)^2$

Thus, the equilibrium constant for this reaction will be:

$K=\frac{1}{K_a}\times (K_b)^2$

$K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

Thus, the equilibrium constant for this reaction is, $K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

Describe the capillary action in acetone compared to water

lakkis [162]

Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.
