Explanation:

<h3>We define non-metal oxide acidity in terms of the acidic solutions formed in reactions with water. For example, sulfur trioxide reacts with water to forms sulfuric acid. In sum, acidic oxides are oxides of non-metals, and basic oxides are oxides of metals. ... CrO is basic, Cr2O3 is amphoteric and CrO3 is acidic.</h3>

Answer:

6.50 g of Hydrogen

Explanation:

We know that in every 20.0g of sucrose, there are 1.30g of hydrogen.

We now have 100.0g of sucrose. 100.0g is 5x larger than the 20.0g sample, which is a 5 : 1 ratio. Applying this ratio to the amount of hydrogen, we would have 5*1.3g of hydrogen in the 100.0g of sucrose.

5*1.3 = 6.5, so our answer is that there are 6.50g of hydrogen in 100.0g of sucrose.

Hope this helps!

Salsk061 [2.6K]

5.05 + 5 + 5.1 = 15.15cm Then you just divide it by the amount of measurements you had like this:15.15 ÷ 3 = 5.04999971cm Then you can just round it to the 3rd figure: 5.05cm < And that's the mean/average length of the bar. :) (Or the one above if you want all of the decimals too)

Based on the sign of E cell, classify these reactions as spontaneous or non spontaneous as written.? assume standard conditions.

sammy [17]

A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if $E^{0} cell is positive.$

Answer 1:
Consider reaction: Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $S^{2-}/S // Ni^{2+}/Ni$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Ni^{2+/Ni} - E^{0} S/S^{2-}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Ni^{2+}/Ni = -0.25 v$
and ${E^{0} S/ S^{2-} = -0.47 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous

Answer 2:
Consider reaction: Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $H_{2} / H^{+} // Pb^{2+} /Pb$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Pb/Pb^{2+} - E^{0} H_{2}/H^{+}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Pb^{2+}/Pb = -0.126 v$
and ${E^{0} H_{2}/ H^{+} = -0 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.

Answer 3:
Consider reaction: 2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $Cr/Cr^{2+} // Ag^{+}/Ag$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag - E^{0} Cr/Cr^{2+}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag = -0.22 v$
and ${E^{0} Cr/ Cr^{2+} = -0.913 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
