That would be the electron

In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to reach a stable amount of valence electrons

In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another in order to reach octets. The ions then become attracted to each other via positive and negative charges.

Rxn 1: Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s)

a) E(Pt⁺²/Fe°) = - 1.668v

b) Process is Non-spontaneous if E(cell) < 0

Explanation:

Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s) ⇔

Pt°(s)|Pt⁺²[0.057M]║Fe⁺²[0.006M]|Fe°(s)

As written, Pt° is shown undergoing oxidation with Fe⁺² undergoing reduction. Applying the reduction potentials to the analytical equations for E(cell) and ΔG(cell) gives E(Pt/Fe⁺²) < 0 and ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) > 0 which indicate a non-spontaneous process. The following supports this conclusion.

E°(Fe⁺²) = -0.44v

E°(Pt⁺²) = +1.20v

E°(Pt/Fe⁺²) =E°(Redn) - E°(Oxidn) =E°(Fe⁺²) - E°(Pt⁺²)

= -0.44v - (+1.20v) = - 1.64v

[Fe⁺²] = 0.0066M

[Pt⁺²] = 0.057M

n = electrons transferred = 2

E(nonstd) = E°(std) - (0.0592/n)logQ);

Q = [Pt⁺²]/[Fe⁺²]

= -1.64v - (0.0592/2)log[0.057M]/[0.006M]v = -1.668v

Also, if ΔG(cell) > 0 => indicates non-spontaneous process

ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) = - nFE = -(2)(96,500Coulombs)((-1.664v) > 0 Kj => nonspontaneous rxn. (1 Coulomb-volt = 1 Kilojoule)

Compared to our solar system, the universe is

GuDViN [60]

Answer: Massive

Explanation: There are many galaxies out in the universe and it's possible they go on indefinitely. Out of all of these, our solar system is very very tiny. As an analogy, our universe would be like an atom which are the the smallest units of matter. There are many other galaxies that we just haven't been able to discover but they are there.

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.

Alchen [17]

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as $5.0\times 10^3$

889.9 is written as $8.899\times 10^{-2}$

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and $5.0\times 10^3$ and $8.899\times 10^{-2}$ are written in the scientific notation.

(a) $1.52\times 10^{-2}$
