The redox reaction is

$Ca^{+2} + 2Li(s) = Ca(s) + 2Li^{+}$

Here

Calcium undergoes reduction, and acts as cathode

Lithium undergoes oxidation and acts as anode

The reduction potential of calcium is -2.87 V

The reduction potential of lithium is - -3.05 V

We know that

Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode

Ecell = -2.87 - (-3.05) = 0.18 V

One meter is equal to 10 9 nanometers. How long in meters is 670 nanometers? 6.70 × 10 –7 m

Mila [183]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: the first option

Explanation:

Meter is a unit of length in the SI, international system of units. Its symbol is m.

Nanometer is equivalent to 10⁻⁹ meters, as its name says it is used to measure extremely small particles.

-To solve this problem we use a rule of three.

1 meter ⇒ 10⁹ nanometers

x meters ⇒ 670 nanometers

Simplify

x = (670 x 1)/( 10⁹)

x = 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ meters

2 H2 + 2 NO → N2 + 2 H2O the observed rate expression, under some conditions, is: rate = k[NO]2 Which of the following mechanism

guapka [62]

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants at constant temperature.

$Rate \propto [\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}$

= k $[\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}$

where, k = rate constant

n = order of reaction

For the given reaction, $2H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

Hence, its rate will be as follows.

Rate = $k[H_{2}][NO]$

Also, it is known that slowest step in a chemical reaction is the rate determining step.

Hence, for the given rate law correct reaction is as follows.

Step 1 : $H_{2} + NO \rightarrow N + H_{2}O$ (slow)

Balancing this equation it becomes $H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O$ (slow)

Step 2: $N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O$ (fast)
