ANEK [815]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is option 4, that is, an ionic compound.  

The mentioned features belong to an ionic compound. The ionic compounds exhibit strong bonds in between their atoms, that is, an ionic bond is the strongest molecular bond, this confirms that ionic compounds exhibit a high melting point.  

The ionic compounds do not transmit current, as they do not possess free electrons, like metals, thus, they are poor conductors as solid. The ionic compounds get dissolve in water and form ions that are the charges, which can move, making them good conductors as a liquid. The composition of the ionic compound is a set of crystals that makes them brittle and hard.

Physical activity and exercise typically lead to __________.
polet [3.4K]
<span>Physical activity and exercise typically lead to higher energy levels. As your body gets used to working hard consistently, you tend to be more prepared and in better physical condition. Your body begins to learn that you should burn up calories quickly to prepare to be active, and this results in increased energy levels even when you're not currently exercising.</span>

How much heat is lost when 0.440 mol of steam condenses at 100 °C?
dusya [7]

Answer:

17,890 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat released by a gaseous substance when it condenses is given by the formula

Q=n\lambda_v

where

n is the number of moles of the substance

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

The formula can be applied if the substance is at its vaporization temperature.

In this problem, we have:

n = 0.440 mol is the number of moles of steam

\lambda_v=40,660 J/mol is the latent heat of vaporization of water

And the steam is already at 100C, so we can apply the formula:

Q=(0.440)(40660)=17,890 J

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

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

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.
