Answer:

Becomes 1/4 as much

Explanation:

If a and b are directly proportional, this means we may write an equality between them if some proportionality constant, k, is included, so that:

$a=kb$

The equation shows that:

$k=\frac{a}{b}$

And since k is a constant, this would imply that increasing a by some fraction would also require b to increase by the same fraction.

In the context of this problem, we're given that a becomes 1/4 as much, meaning b should also become 1/4 as much to keep the same proportionality constant, k.

The cell potential of the following electrochemical cell depends on the gold concentration in the cathode half-cell: Pt(s)|H2(g,

Masja [62]

Answer: The concentration of $Au^{3+}$ in the solution is $1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Explanation:

The given cell is:

$Pt(s)|H_2(g.1atm)|H^+(aq.,1.0M)||Au^{3+}(aq,?M)|Au(s)$

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $H_2(g)\rightarrow 2H^{+}(1.0M)+2e^-;E^o_{H^+/H_2}=0V$ ( × 3)

Reduction half reaction: $Au^{3+}(?M)+3e^-\rightarrow Au(s);E^o_{Au^{3+}/Au}=1.50V$ ( × 2)

Net reaction: $3H_2(s)+2Au^{3+}(?M)\rightarrow 6H^{+}(1.0M)+2Au(s)$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=1.50-0=1.50V$

To calculate the concentration of ion for given EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[H^{+}]^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 1.23 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.50 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

$[Au^{3+}]=?M$

$[H^{+}]=1.0M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.23=1.50-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{(1.0)^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2})$

$[Au^{3+}]=1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Au^{3+}$ in the solution is $1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Caffeine is one of many naturally occurring chemicals in tea plants that plays two important roles: protecting the plant from pr

AnnyKZ [126]

Caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane and the both are separated by evaporating the solvent.

Caffeine is an organic plant material which is more soluble in non-polar solvents than in polar solvents. As such, caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane than in pure water.

In order to carry out a liquid-liquid exaction of dichloromethane from a commercial teabag, the dichloromethane is mixed with water. The caffeine is found to be more soluble in the organic dichloromethane layer than in water.

The two solvents can now be separated using a separating funnel and the solution is evaporated to obtain the caffeine.

2. Why was it important to examine both the color and the streak of your minerals? Think about streak and explain why it’s calle

Delicious77 [7]

It is important to examine both the colour and the streak of a mineral because the streak may be completely different from the colour of the hand specimen.
The streak of a mineral is the color it possesses after it has been grounded to a fine powder. The streak test has to be done on minerals because it is a more reliable way of identifying a mineral with its color.
