Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

$W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})$

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K); R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

$V_{1}$ is the initial volume = 0.350 L

$V_{2}$ is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*( $V_{2}$ - 0.350) L

$V_{2}$ = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L

Earth is about 150 million km from the Sun. The radiation coming from the Sun travels at 300,000 km/s. How long does it take for

meriva

It takes exactly 500 seconds for the sun's radiation to reach the earth or about 8 minutes (8.333333333333... to be exact). Just divide 150 million km by 300,000 km/s. Hope this helps

Pls help Would be much appreciated:)

Pie

Answer:

Ok so, b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,

A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and $SCN^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol$

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)$

Since 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ reacts with 1 mole of $SCN^-$ to give 1 mole of $FeSCN^{2+}$

The limiting reagent is, $SCN^-$

So, the number of moles of $FeSCN^{2+}$ = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $FeSCN^{2+}$ .

$\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M$

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

$A=\epsilon \times C\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

$\epsilon$ = molar absorptivity coefficient

$\epsilon$ and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

$\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}$

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ is,

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{initial}$ = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ .

$C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M$

Now calculate the concentration of $SCN^-$ .

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$
