Molar mass is the mass of one stable molecule of a compound, that cannot join with another molecule of the same kind to form a new one, while an empirical formula is the molecular formula in its simplest form. E.g. empirical formula of ethene is CH2while its molecular formula is C2H4.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.

The combination of potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes can result in dangerously high blood levels of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

b. potassium.  

Explanation:

Potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes are diuretics that eliminate salt and water but save potassium. They act by inhibiting the conducting sodium channels in the collecting tubule, such as amiloride and triamterene, or by blocking aldosterone, such as spironolactone.

Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics together with salt substitutes may result in dangerously high blood levels of serum potassium. For this reason, it is important to consult a physician before taking these substances at the same time to avoid potential problems with potassium accumulation.

A cyanide solution with avolume of 12.73 mL was treated with 25.00 mL of Ni2+solution (containing
natima [27]

Answer:

The molarity of this solution is 0,09254M

Explanation:

The concentration of the Ni²⁺ solution is:

Ni²⁺ + EDTA⁴⁻ → Ni(EDTA)²⁻

0,03935L × 0,01307M = 5,143x10⁻⁴ moles Ni²⁺ ÷ 0,03010L =<em>0,01709M Ni²⁺</em>

25,00 mL of this solution contain:

0,01709M × 0,02500L = 4,2716x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

The moles of Ni²⁺ that are in excess and react with EDTA⁴⁻ are:

0,01015L × 0,01307M = 1,3266x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

Thus, moles of Ni²⁺ that react with CN⁻ are:

4,2716x10⁻⁴ - 1,3266x10⁻⁴ = 2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

For the reaction:

4CN⁻ + Ni²⁺ → Ni(CN)₄²⁻

Four moles of CN⁻ react with 1 mole of Ni²⁺:

2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺ × \frac{4 mol CN^-}{1 molNi^{2+}} = <em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻</em>

As the volume of cyanide solution is 12,73mL. The molarity of this solution is:

<em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻ ÷ 0,01273L = </em><em>0,09254M</em>

I hope it helps!
