1 answer:

8 0

At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\rm \text{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$

Explanation:

The half-cell reduction potentials are

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s) E° = 0.7996 V

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s) E° = -0.447 V

To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.

The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is

$\boxed{\rm \textbf{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$

Westkost [7]

Answer:

have stars that might appear to wobble

often have one star that is brighter than the other

Explanation:

A binary star system is a star system made up of mostly two stars that moves round their common fixed center.

The two orbiting stars are gravitationally bonded to one another and they move round each other.

Most binary stars might appear wobble. One of the stars often appears brighter than the other.

A chemist adds 485 mL of a 0.0025 mol/L calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sul

viva [34]

Answer : The mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution}}$

Solute is, $CaSO_4$

Given:

Molarity of $CaSO_4$ = 0.0025 mol/L

Molar mass of $CaSO_4$ = 136 g/mole

Volume of solution = 485 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.0025=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaSO_4\times 1000}{136\times 485}$

$\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=0.16g$

Thus, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.
