Answer : The voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

Explanation :

From the given cell representation, we conclude that

The copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

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

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

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=(+0.34V)-(-0.76V)

E^o_{cell}=1.1V

Now we have to calculate the emf or voltage of the cell.

Using Nernest equation at 298 K :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.1-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{0.2}{4.0}

E_{cell}=1.14V

Therefore, the voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

Answer:

Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in an automobile tire (P) = 1.88 atm

Temperature (K) = 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 Kelvin

New temperature (K1) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 Kelvin

Find:

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = ?

Computation:

\frac{P}{K}= \frac{P1}{K1} \\\\\frac{1.88}{298}= \frac{P1}{310}\\\\1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.96 (Approx)

Hello this is my 3 attempt, please someone answer this i'm begging you.

Answer:

Explanation:

No worries, I got you :)

So for the first question, you need to use PV=nRT to find the n, or in other words, the number of moles. Then, you can find the molar mass since you know the grams and the moles

110 kPa / 101.3 = 1.085 atm (I converted it to atm so I can use the .08206 L atm/ k mol  for the rate)

550 ml / 1000 = .550 L (I converted mL to L in order to use the .08206 L atm/ k mol for the Rate)

28.5 c + 273 = 301.5 K (I converted C to K in order to use the .08206 L atm/ k mol for the Rate)

PV=nRT

(1.085) (.550 L) = n (0.08206) (301.5)

Divide the (0.08206) (301.5) to get n alone:

(1.085) (.550 L) / (0.08206) (301.5) = n

When I divided, I got n= .02412 moles, and since we have 1.88g , we divide the 1.88 by .02412 to get the molar mass (grams/mole)

77.94 g/mole is the molar mass

we know that there are 3 H's in the compound, so we do 3(1.008) and subtract 77.94 by what you get.

3 x 1.008 = 3.024 -----> 77.94-3.024 = 74.9

Now we look at the periodic table and try to find an element that has a molar mass of 74.9

Arsenic (As) has a molar mass of 74.922, which is close enough. Plus, Arsenic has a charge of 3, so it fits with the 3 hydrogens.

The density of osmium, which is the densest metal, is 22.57 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a block of osmium that measures 1.00 cm
olganol [36]
Density = Mass / Volume
V = 1.00 * 4.00 * 2.50 = 10 cm³
22.57 g/cm³ = Mass / 10 cm³
M = 22.57 g/cm³ * 10 cm³
M = 225.7 g
Answer: The mass of the block of osmium is 225.7 g.
