Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

The mass of the water is 1580 g.

<h3>What is the amount of water formed?</h3>

We know that the ideal gas equation can be used to obtain the number of moles of the gas. We have been told that the pressure of the gas reduced from  7.9 x 10-3 atm to  1.2 x 10-4 atm. The change in pressure can be used obtain the number of moles.

Change in pressure = 7.9 x 10-3 - 1.2 x 10-4 = 7.78 * 10^-3 atm

Using;

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 7.78 * 10^-3 atm *  2.4 x10^5 l/0.082 * (39 + 273)

n = 85 moles

Since 1 mole of carbon dioxide produces 1 mole of water

85 moles of carbon dioxide produces 85 mole of water

Mass of water produced = 85 mole  * 18 g/mol

= 1580 g

A compound that occupies a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as a(n)?
Yuliya22 [10]

A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

Limiting Reactant Worksheet
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a) 1.61 mol

b) Al is limiting reactant

c) HBr is in excess

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 3.22 mol

Moles of HBr = 4.96 mol

Moles of H₂ formed = ?

What is limiting reactant =

What is excess reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al  + 2HBr  → 2AlBr + H₂

Now we will compare the moles:

                Al              :               H₂

                  2              :               1

                 3.22         :            1/2×3.22 = 1.61 mol

                HBr            :              H₂

                 2                :               1

                4.96            :          1/2×4.96 = 2.48 mol      

The number of moles of H₂ produced by Al are less it will be limiting reactant while HBr is present in excess.

Moles of H₂ :

Number of moles of H₂ = 1.61 mol
