What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used? How can both be used in a home?

The following exist:

Artificial photosynthesis: Plants can photosynthesize, but we can do it artificially to power anything requiring energy.

Solar thermal energy or STE is a process where the light is reflected from a mirror or lense to heat up anything.

Photovoltaics or Heat collectors (Solar panels): they absorb the sun's electromagnetic energy and converts it into electricity.

All of these technologies are very similar to each other... this was a good question

Photosynthesis is a great example: plants use the sun's energy to grow and reproduce. Solar energy-power from the sun is a vast and inexhaustible resource that people have recently discovered and it's used for light and heat.

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

For a: The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b: The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c: The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

Explanation:

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

For a:

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b:

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c:

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room

Andrej [43]

Answer:

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

$E=E\°-\frac{0.0591}{n} log(Q)$

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

$Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe^0\ \ \ E\°=0.440V\\\\Ni^0\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-\ \ \ E\°=-0.250V$

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

$E=(0.440V+0.250V)-\frac{0.0591}{2} log(\frac{0.002M}{0.40M} )\\\\E=0.758V$
