Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking.

Balance the following skeleton ionic reaction, and calculate E°cell to decide whether the reaction is spontaneous: Ag(s) + Cu2+
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

Distinguish between a solution in general and an aqueous solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  • What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.

Explanation:

A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.

Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.

Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.

What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.

What is the temperature of 1.2 moles of helium gas at 2.57 ATM if it occupies 15.5L of volume
agasfer [191]
We will assume helium to behave as an ideal gas and apply the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
For pressure measured in atmospheres and volume measured in liters, the value of the molar gas constant is 0.082. Therefore:
T = PV / nR
T = (2.57 x 15.5) / (1.2 x 0.082)
T = 404.8 Kelvin
