Answer:

protons in the atom.

Explanation:

The identity of an element relies on the number of protons in its atom. This is called the atomic number. The atomic number is the basis of the periodic table of elements. Modern periodic law states that "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

Atomic number of atoms do not change and they are convieniently used in identifying an atom.

Use the provided reduction potentials to calculate ArGº for the following balanced redox reaction: Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) → Pb(s) + Cu
nydimaria [60]

Answer : The correct option is, +91 kJ/mole

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

E^0_{cell}=E^0_{cathode}-E^0_{anode}

E^0_{cell}=E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^0_{cell}=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V

Now we have to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = -0.47 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times (-0.47))=+90710J/mole=+90.71kJ/mole\approx +91kJ/mole

Therefore, the standard Gibbs free energy is +91 kJ/mole

larisa [96]

Answer:

By measuring it's Radical velocity using Doppler Phenomenon...

Explanation:

It is done by measuring the absorption spectrum produces by a star as a result of measuring Doppler's relative wavelength. The star with the lower speed must have lower absorption spectrum extent as compared to the faster one.
