Answer: The initial acceleration of the proton = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

The initial acceleration of the electron = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Explanation: The force of attraction between the proton and electron can be computed using the statements of Coulomb's law which state that the force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F = (Kq1q2)/(r^2) where K = (9 × (10^9) Nm(C^-2))

But q1 is the charge on a proton = (1.6 × (10^-19)) C

q2 is charge on an electron = -(1.6 × (10^-19)) C

r = (5.50 × (10^-10))mm = (5.50 × (10^-13))m

Computing all that, F = 0.0007616529 N = (7.62 × 10^-4) N

But the force of attraction is converted to that required for motion when they're released.

F = ma.

For proton, m = (1.67 × 10^-27) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(1.67 × 10^-27) = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

For electron, m = (9.11 × 10^-31) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(9.11 × 10^-31) = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

The spontaneous reaction that occurs when the cell in the picture operates is as follows: 2Ag+ + Cd(s) ???? 2 Ag(s) + Cd2+ (A) V
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

14. B    15. D    16. C     17. B

Explanation:

The spontaneous reaction that occurs when the cell operates is shown below:

2Ag^{+} + Cd_{(s)} ⇒2Ag_{(s)} + Cd^{2+}

We need to select the correct option from the list below for the following questions.

(A) Voltage increases. (B) Voltage decreases but remains > zero. (C) Voltage becomes zero and remains at zero. (D) No change in voltage occurs. (E) Direction of voltage change cannot be predicted without additional information.

14. A 50-milliliter sample of a 2-molar Cd(NO_{3})_{2} solution is added to the left beaker.

If a 50-milliliter sample of a 2-molar Cd(NO_{3})_{2}  solution is added to the left beaker, the voltage decreases but its value remains greater than zero. The correct option is B

15. The silver electrode is made larger.

If the silver electrode is made larger, no change in the value of the voltage since we don't have the idea of the initial value. The correct option is D.

16. The salt bridge is replaced by a platinum wire.

If the salt bridge is replaced by a platinum wire, there will be no passage of electrons because electrons can't pass through a platinum wire. Therefore, the voltage will be zero and remains at zero. The correct option is C.

17. Current is allowed to flow for 5 minutes.

If current is allowed to flow for 5 minutes, the voltage decreases but its value remains greater than zero. The correct option is B.

Q 3.6: calculate the number of po43- ions present in 23.7 g of ca3(po4)2.
malfutka [58]
Moles of ca3(po4)2 = 23.7 / 310.17 =  0.076

moles of (PO4)3- = 0.076 x 2 = 0.152

now, no. of ions = 0.152 x 6.022 x 10^{23}

                          =  9.2 x 10^{22}

What is required in order to determine wether or not an object moves
Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer would be Point of Reference.

In order to determine, whether an object has moved or not, a point of reference is required. The reference point is required to the measure the movement of the object, without a reference point the distance or displacement cannot be obtained. Hence, a reference point is very required to determine, whether the object has moved or not.

(Hope this helps) Sky
