Answer:

Cell potential = +1.09V

Explanation:

Given:

[Zn2+] = 0.25 M

[Cu2+]  = 0.15 M

In this electrochemical cell, Zn/Zn2+ half cell will serve as the anode and Cu/Cu2+ will act as the cathode.

The two half reactions and the reduction potentials based on the standard reduction potential chart are:

Anode (Oxidation):

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}.......E°(anode) = -0.76 V

Cathode(Reduction):

Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu(s)........E°(cathode)= +0.34 V

Overall reaction:

Zn(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu(s) + Zn^{2+}(aq)

E_{cell}^{0} =E_{cathode}^{0}-E_{anode}^{0}=0.34-(-0.76)=1.10V

Based on the Nernst equation:

Ecell = E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.0592V}{n}log\frac{[Zn2+]}{[Cu2+]}

Ecell = 1.10-\frac{0.0592V}{2}log\frac{[0.25]}{[0.15]}=1.09V

The boiling point of water is 1000C.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.

Left Panel

Short answer A

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

Since you have been given choices, my sloppy numbers will do, but it anyone is going to see this, YOU SHOULD CLEAN  THEM UP WITH THE NUMBERS THAT COME FROM YOUR PERIODIC TABLE.

Equation

Sodium Phosphate + Calcium Chloride ===> Sodium Chloride + Calcium Phosphate.

Na3PO4 + CaCl2 ===> NaCl + Ca3(PO4)2

<em><u>Step One</u></em>

Balance the Equation

2Na2PO4 + 3CaCl2 ==> 6NaCl + Ca3(PO4)2

<em><u>Step Two</u></em>

Find the molar mass of CaCl2

Ca = 40

2Cl = 71

Molar Mass = 40 + 71 = 111 grams/mole

<em><u>Step Three</u></em>

Find the number of moles of CaCl2

Given mass = 379.4

Molar Mass = 111

moles = given Mass / molar Mass

moles of CaCl2 = 379.4/111 = 3.418 moles

<em><u>Step Four</u></em>

Find the number of moles of Ca3(PO4)2 needed.

This requires that you use the balance numbers from the balanced equation.

For every 3 moles of CaCl2 you have, you get 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

n_moles of Ca3(PO4)2 = 3.418 / 3 = 1.13933 moles

<em><u>Step Five</u></em>

Find the molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2

From the periodic table,

3Ca = 3 * 40 = 120

2 P  = 2 * 31 =    62

8 O = 8 * 16   =128

Molar Mass = 120 + 62 + 128= 310 grams per mole.

<em><u>Step Six</u></em>

1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2 has a molar mass of 310 gram

1.13933 moles of Ca3(PO4)2 = x

x = 1.13933 moles * 310 grams /mole

x = 353.2 grams. As you can see, even with my rounding I'm only out 0.3 of a gram. DON'T FORGET TO PUT THIS TO THE PROPER SIG DIGS IF SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO SEE IT.

Middle Panel

Short Answer C

Equation

2HCl + Mg ===> H2 + MgCl2

The object of the first part of the game is to find the number of moles of H2.

<em><u>Step One</u></em>

Find the moles of HCl

1 mole HCl = 35.5 + 1 = 36.5

n = given mass divided by molar mass

n = 49 grams / 36.5 = 1.34 moles.

The balanced equation tells you that for ever mole of H2 produced, you need 2 moles of HCl. That's what the balance numbers are for.

So the number of moles of H2 is 1.34 / 2 = 0.671 moles of H2.

Now we come to Part II. We have to use an new friend of yours that I have seen only once before from you.

Find V using PV = nRT

R is going to be in kPa so the value of R = 8.314

V = ???

n = 0.671 moles

T = 25 + 273 = 298oK

P = 101.3 kPa

101.3 * V= 0.671*8.314 * 298

V = 0.671 * 8.314 * 298 / 101.3

V = 16.4

The answer is C and again, I have rounded almost everything except R, although it can go out to 8 places.

Right Panel

I can't see the panel. I don't know what the problem is. Never mind I got it. I'm going to be a little skimpy on this one since I've done two like it and they are long.

LiOH + HBr ===> LiBr + H2O and the equation is balanced.

You have to figure out the moles of LiOH and HBr. Use the LOWEST number of moles

n_LiOH = given mass / molar mass = 117/(7 + 16 + 1) = 117 / 24 = 4.875 moles

n_HBr = given mass / molar mass =  141/(1 + 80) = 141 / 81 = 1.741 moles

HBr is the lower number. That's all the LiBr you are going to get is 1.741. There is no adjustment to be made from the balance equation.

n = given mass / molar mass  multiply both sides by the molar mass

n * Molar mass (LiBr) = n * (7 + 80) = 1.741 * 87 = 151 grams of

The answer is C
