Chemistry

6 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move from left to right in a period because the valence shell come closer to nucleus as we move from left to right. So, addition of new electron in the valence shell becomes easier due to greater attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

For the given options:

<u>Option A:</u> Silicon

This element lies in Group 14 and Period 3.

<u>Option B:</u> Chlorine

This element lies in Group 17 and Period 3.

<u>Option C:</u> Sulfur

This element lies in Group 16 and Period 3.

<u>Option D:</u> Phosphorus

This element lies in Group 15 and Period 3.

Hence, chlorine will readily accept electrons due to its position in the periodic table.

Under what conditions of temperature and pressure is a gas least soluble in water
snow_tiger [21]

The conditions of temperature and pressure in which a gas least soluble in water is low pressure and high temperature.

<h3>What is Henry Law?</h3>

The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, according to Henry's law.

From this law it is clear that:

  • As the pressure of the gas increases solubility of the gas on the liquid also increases.

But if the temperature of the liquid decreases then the solubility of the gas also increases.

Hence at low pressure and high temperature, gas is least soluble.

Suppose you need of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of and weighs , to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of t
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

In this question we are to find mass. In order to calculate the Mass, We need the values of two parameters, that is, the values given for the grade tow chain, and the value given for the mass per length.

Assuming the mass per length is 3 Kilogram per metre(kg/m) and the grade 70 tow chain length is 5 metre(m).

Therefore, the formula for calculating mass of the chain is given below;

Mass of the chain= mass per unit length(kg/m) × length ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Mass of the chain= 3 kg/m × 5 m.

Mass of the chain= 15 kg.

Pls help Would be much appreciated:)
Pie

Answer:

Ok so,  b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

E

⁰

red

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,

E

⁰

ox

=

-

E

⁰

red

.

iv. What kind of electrochemical cell is this? Explain your answer.

All parts in the electrochemical cells are labeled in second figure. Following are the part in electrochemical cells

1) Anode 2) Cathode 3) gold Stripe (Electrode) 4) Aluminium Glasses (Electrode) 5) Connecting wires 6) Battery
