Answer:

Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)

Explanation:

If we look at the both reactions closely, we will quickly discover that the reaction CuSO4(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ PbSO4(s)+Cu(s) involves PbSO4.

The compound PbSO4 is insoluble in water and sinks to the bottom of the reaction vessel. When this occurs, the concentration of Pb^2+ becomes low. This will bring about a low voltage in the cell.

On the other hand, Pb(NO3)2 is soluble in water hence the cell voltage in this case is higher than the former.

Using the periodic table, how would you find elements with chemical properties similar to helium?

rosijanka [135]

The state of the helium in its natural form is gaseous and is a chemical element of colorless aspect and belongs to the group of noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. The chemical symbol of helium is He. For the following we focus on those elements and relate it with similar chemical properties. Then we find that; Neon, Hydrogen, Boron and Carbon are related to helium, either by proximity in their atomic number or period or by their group.

Bond order of n2 bond order of N2

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The MO method for N2+ gives the bond order equal to 2.5. But first, we look at the diagram of molecular orbitals for N2 (the bond order for the nitrogen molecule is 3). the N2+ molecule). That is, the bond order for N2+ is 2.5.

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane.
