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.

Svetlanka [38]

<h2>Answer : Option C) Smaller volume - crowded particles - more collisions - high pressure</h2><h3>Explanation : </h3>

The kinetic molecular theory of gases explains that if there is small volume of gas there will be more crowding of the gas molecules inside the container. The crowded gas molecules will collide with each other and also with the walls of container as a result, exchange of energies will take place. Which will increase the pressure inside the container, and will raise the pressure than the initial pressure.

if 28.5 g of calcium hydroxide is dissolved in enough water to make 185g of solution what is the percent by mass of calcium hydr

DENIUS [597]

The percent by mass of calcium hydroxide in the solution : 15.41%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Mass of solute (Ca(OH₂-Calcium hydroxide) : 28.5

Mass of solution = 185 g

$\tt \%mass=\dfrac{mass~solute}{mass~solution}\times 100\%\\\\\%mass=\dfrac{28.5~g}{185~g}\times 100\%\\\\\%mass=15.41\%$
