Tarnish on copper is the compound CuO. A tarnished copper plate is placed in an aluminum pan of boiling water. When enough salt

is added so that the solution conducts electricity, the tarnish disappears. Imagine that the two halves of this redox reaction were separated and connected with a wire and a salt bridge. Part A Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0.340 V Express your answer to two decimal places and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Cu is cathode because of higher EP

Al3++3e−→Al       E∘=−1.66 V     anode

Cu2++2e−→Cu    E∘=0.340 V    cathode

<u>Step 2:</u> Balance both equations

2*(Al → Al3+-3e−)       E∘=1.66 V    

3*(Cu2++2e−→Cu)    E∘=0.340 V

<u>Step 3:</u> The netto equation

2 Al + 3Cu2+ +6e- → 2Al3+ + 3Cu -6e-

2 Al + 3Cu2+  → 2Al3+ + 3Cu

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate the standard cell potential

E∘cell = E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cell = E∘ Cu2+/Cu - E∘ Al3+/Al

E∘cell =0.340 V - (-1.66) = 2.00 V

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

The hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an internuclear separation of 127 pm (picometers). Assume the atomic isotopes that make
natta225 [31]

Answer:

the energy of the third excited rotational state \mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}

Explanation:

Given that :

hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an intermolecular separation of 127 pm

Assume the atomic isotopes that make up the molecule are hydrogen-1 (protium) and chlorine-35.

Thus; the reduced mass μ = \dfrac{m_1 \times m_2}{m_1 + m_2}

μ = \dfrac{1 \times 35}{1 + 35}

μ = \dfrac{35}{36}

∵ 1 μ = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

μ  = \\ \\ \dfrac{35}{36} \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \ \  kg

μ  = 1.6139 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

r_o = 127 \ pm = 127*10^{-12} \ m

The rotational level Energy can be expressed by the equation:

E_J = \dfrac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I } \times J ( J +1)

where ;

J = 3 ( i.e third excited state)  &

I = \mu r^2_o

E_J= \dfrac{h^2}{8  \pi  \mu r^ 2 \mur_o } \times J ( J +1)

E_3 = \dfrac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34})^2}{8  \times  \pi ^2  \times 1.6139 \times 10^{-27} \times( 127 \times 10^{-12}) ^ 2  } \times 3 ( 3 +1)

E_3= 2.5665 \times 10^{-21} \ J

We know that :

1 J = \dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV

E_3= \dfrac{2.5665 \times 10^{-21} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV

E_3 = 16.041  \times 10 ^{-3} \ eV

\mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}

What is one property that is different between water and oil? *
Arlecino [84]
Oil is less dense than water, so the difference would be its density. Water is a good solvent, which means It can dissolve other substances.

Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?
serious [3.7K]
Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

How do I calculate the molecular weight of Mg(OH)2?
vodomira [7]

The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Mg(OH)2 compound

Required

The molecular weight

Solution

Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes  

Relative molecular weight (M)  : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar  

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)  

So for Mg(OH)2 :

= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H

= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol

= 24 + 32 + 2

= 58 g/mol
