Answer:
Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode
Part B. 0.017V
Explanation:
Part A
The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).
So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.
Part B
By the Nersnt equation:
E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]
Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.
E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)
E°cell = 0.017V
Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Answer:
[N₂] = 0.032 M
[O₂] = 0.0086 M
Explanation:
Ideal Gas Law → P . V = n . R . T
We assume that the mixture of air occupies a volume of 1 L
78% N₂ → Mole fraction of N₂ = 0.78
21% O₂ → Mole fraction of O₂ = 0.21
1% another gases → Mole fraction of another gases = 0.01
In a mixture, the total pressure of the system refers to total moles of the mixture
1 atm . 1L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K
n = 1 L.atm / 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K → 0.0409 moles
We apply the mole fraction to determine the moles
N₂ moles / Total moles = 0.78 → 0.78 . 0.0409 mol = 0.032 moles N₂
O₂ moles / Total moles = 0.21 → 0.21 . 0.0409 mol = 0.0086 moles O₂
A incline plane is a flat inclined surface. You can stick a rope in the pulley and pull one side and the other side will lift something! They are both simple machines! The difference is a incline plane is a ramp and things go up or down and the pulley lifts something with force of your weight!!
