The functional group can affect the chemical properties and physical properties. Like CH3CH3 and CH3CH2OH. The first one is gas and second one is liquid. The first one is not easy to react with others while the second one is.

A galvanic cell consists of a Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq) half-cell and a Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq) half-cell connected by a salt bridge. Oxidation occu

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

When you have finished adding the necessary amount of NaOH to your beaker, what color will the litmus paper turn?

Svetllana [295]

Answer: The red litmus paper turns blue on dipping in NaOH solution.

Explanation:

Litmus paper is the indicator that detects the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.

There are 2 types of litmus paper:

Red litmus paper: This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
Blue litmus paper: This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in basic solution.

NaOH is a strong base, so when a red litmus paper is dipped in the beaker having necessary amount of NaOH, the red litmus paper turns into blue.

Make a prediction about the relationship between electrons and molecular shapes

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

★ Molecular geometry is described by VSEPR theory, which basically states that electron pairs around a central atom will repel each other, and get as far apart as possible, in three dimensions.

Based on the chemical bonds present in this molecule, we would classify it as a(n)

MrMuchimi

Answer is C – Unsaturated fat.

Fats are large molecules basically made from a combination of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids. Usually fats consist of C, H and O. According to the C – C bond, there are two types of fats as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have only C – C single bonds and all C atoms are sp³ hybridized atoms. But in unsaturated fats other than C – C single bonds there are C – C double bonds. Hence, both sp³ and sp² hybridized C atoms can be seen.
