How does heat affect the motion of atoms?

1 answer:

3 0

Due to heat , the kinetic energy of the atoms in the substance increases due to which they start vibrating vigorously and the inter-molecular attraction decreases and the substance increases in volume. For example, on boiling water...heat energy imparted makes the volume increase and finally turn into steam or water vapour in air.(The inter-molecular space in air is more than that in water.)

What is not represented by a balanced chemical equation?

astraxan [27]

Answer is: 4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation.

For example, balanced chemical reaction:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.

1) The same number of atoms is on each side of the equation: two magnesium atoms and two oxgen atoms.

2) The formulas for all substances are correct: in magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium has oxidation number +2 and oxygen -2, so formula is good, because compound must be neutral.

3) The same mass is represented on each side of the equation: because there is same number of atoms, the mass is the same.

4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation: oxygen does not have same subscripts.

What is the standard potential, e∘celle∘cell, for this galvanic cell? use the given standard reduction potentials in your calcul

Olin [163]

The standard potential for the given galvanic cell is 0.477 V

<h3>What is electrode potential?</h3>

The electrode potential is the electromotive force of a galvanic cell built using a standard reference electrode and another electrode whose potential is to be found.

There are two types of electrode potential

Oxidation potential - The potential associated with oxidation reaction is known as oxidation potential

Reduction potential - The potential associated with reduction reaction is known as reduction potential

At the anode, oxidation occurs

$Sn(s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction occurs

$Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

$E^o_{cell} =E^o_{cathode} -E^o_{anode}$

= 0.337 - (-0.140)

= 0.477 V

Thus, The standard potential for the given galvanic cell is 0.477 V

What happens to a reaction at equilibrium when a reactant is removed from the reaction system

Firlakuza [10]

When a reactant is removed based on a reaction at equilibrium, the condition favors the backward reaction. This obeys the Le Chatelier's principle which states that any disturbance in the system shall be dealt in a way that the system counters that disturbance.
