Palladium and Sn^4+ can be reduced by hydrogen.

Explanation:

If we look at the electrochemical systems represented above, we will notice that in the first two cells, the metal should be reduced looking at the positive electrode potential of the process. This means that hydrogen can reduce the both metals. Electrons flow from the H2(g)/H^+(aq) half cell to the metal/metal ion half cell.

Similarly, when the standard electrode potential is negative, electrons flow from the metal/metal ion electrode to the hydrogen electrode.

Based on the reaction equations, a process is spontaneous if it gives a positive E°cell hence the answers above.

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weighs out 385.mg of oxalic acid H2

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0692 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2C2O4 = 385 mg = 0.385 grams

volume = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Volume of NaOH = 123.7 mL = 0.1237 L

Molar mass H2C2O4 = 90.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaOH + H2C2O4 → Na2C2O4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles H2C2O4

Moles H2C2O4 = mass H2C2O4 / molar mass H2C2O4

Moles H2C2O4 = 0.385 grams / 90.03 g/mol

Moles H2C2O4 = 0.00428 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of H2C2O4

Molarity H2C2O4 = moles / volume

Molarity H2C2O4 = 0.00428 moles / 0.250 L

Molarity H2C2O4 = 0.01712 M

Step 5: Calculate molarity of NaOH

2*Ca*Va = n*Cb*Vb

⇒ with Ca = Molarity of H2C2O4 = 0.01712 M

⇒ Va = volume of H2C2O4 = 0.250 L

⇒Cb = molarity of NaOH = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ Vb = volume of NaOH = 0.1237 L

Cb = (2*0.01712*0.250)/0.1237

Cb = 0.0691 M

The molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0692 M

Choose the predominant type of bonding as ionic, covalent, or metallic for the substance below.

nadya68 [22]

It is ionic bond because of Na valency and it is alkali metal and cl is non metal and it’s valency , they both share electron and make ionic bonding .

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C_11H_24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Eart

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Volume of carbon dioxide is 428.23 L.

Explanation:

Below is the chemical reaction or chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane into carbon dioxide.

$C_{11}H_{24}(l) + 17O_{2}(g) \to 11CO_{2} (g) + 12H_2O(g)$

Here, undecane is in liquid form that reacts with gaseous oxygen (combustion) and produces carbon dioxide and water as a product in the gaseous form.

The molar mass of undecane = $156.31 g/mol.$

$\text{Number of moles} = \frac{260g}{156.31g/mol} = 1.66 \ mol.$

From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of undecane produces 11 moles of carbon dioxide. Therefore, 1.66 mol will produce 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide.

Now find the volume of 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide when the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius and pressure is 1 atm.

$V = \frac{nRT}{P} \\$

$V = \frac{18.26 \times 0.082 \times 286 \ K}{1atm} \\$

$V = 428.23 \ L$

A certain isotope has 53 protons 78 neutrons and 53 electrons. What is its atomic number? What is the mass number of this atom?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

53 protons
131g
Iodine
Halogens

Explanation:

atomic no. = no. of protons

= 53 proton

mass = no. of protons + no. of

neutrons

= 53 + 78

= 131
