A concentration cell is built based on the following half reactions by using two pieces of zinc as electrodes, two Zn2+ solution

s, 0.129 M and 0.427 M, and all other materials needed for a galvanic cell. What will the potential of this cell be when the cathode concentration of Zn2+ has changed by 0.047 M at 291 K?
Zn2+ + 2 e- ? Zn Eo = -0.761 V

Explanation:

The given reaction at cathode will be as follows.

At cathode: Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Zn,     E_{o} = -0.761 V

At anode: Zn \rightarrow Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-},       E_{o} = 0.761

Therefore, net reaction equation will be as follows.

                 Zn^{2+} + Zn \rightarrow Zn + Zn^{2+}

Initial:     0.129         -            -       0.427

Change:  -0.047      -            -     -0.047

Equilibrium: (0.129 - 0.047)      (0.427 - 0.047)

                = 0.082                       = 0.38

As E^{o}_{cell} for the given reaction is zero.

Hence, equation for calculating new cell potential will be as follows.

                   E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{RT}{nF} ln \frac{[Zn^{2+}]_{products}}{[Zn^{2+}]_{reactants}}

                              = 0 - \frac{8.314 atm L/mol K \times 291 K}{2 \times 96500} ln \frac{0.38}{0.082}

                              = 0.019

Thus, we can conclude that the cell potential of the given cell is 0.019.

Consider 100.0-g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. one compound contains 27.2 g of carbon
Sliva [168]

This is a tricky question. All that matters are ratios of percentages, not percentages themselves. So no one should directly compare 27.2 with 42.9. We must and shall compare the ratios (27.2 to 72.8) and (42.9 to 57.1).

Take them both down to 1 to and see what happens.

Working out the formulas knowing atomic masses is a bit beside the point; this is how people first DISCOVERED the idea of atomic mass.

A

Carbon Oxygen

27.2g 72.8g (100-27.2)

Moles 27.2/12 72.8/16

2.27 4.55

Ratio 1 2

Do the same with the other

When a gas is pumped into a small rigid container the pressure inside the container increases as more particles are added. If th
marysya [2.9K]
Since the container of the gas is rigid, the volume of the gas will remain constant. Therefore, when the number of particles were decreased in half then the pressure will also be half of the original given they both are subjected to the same temperature.

PV = nRT

V, T and R are constants so they can be lumped together to a constant k.

P/n = k
P1/n1 = P2/n2

since n2 = n1/2
P1/n1 = P2/<span>n1/2</span>
P2 = P1/2

Helppppppp! why should i use spr??
Viktor [21]

SPR can be used in order to do real time monitoring and to evaluate the advancement of compounds.

<h3>Why should we use SPR?</h3>

SPR provide information to evaluate whether or not compounds should advance to the next stage of investigation. It also provides real-time monitoring.

So we can conclude that SPR can be used in order to do real time monitoring and to evaluate the advancement of compounds.

What does physical weathering involve ?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart. The process is sometimes assisted by water. ... Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart.

not sure if this is what you meant

Balance the chemical equation AND state the type of chemical reaction:
exis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, enter an equation of a chemical reaction and press the Balance button. The balanced equation will appear above.Use uppercase for the first character in the element and lowercase for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F.Ionic charges are not yet supported and will be ignored.Replace immutable groups in compounds to avoid ambiguity. For example, C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will.Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.You can use parenthesis () or brackets [].
