A cell consists of a gold wire and a saturated calomel electrode (S.C.E.) in a 0.130 M AuNO 3 solution at 25 °C. The gold wire i

s connected to the positive end of a potentiometer, and the S.C.E. is connected to the negative end of the potentiometer. What is the half‑reaction that occurs at the Au electrode? Include physical states.

Answer:

The half reaction occurring at this electrode will be given as:

Au^++e^-\rightarrow Au

Explanation:

In electrochemical cell reduction occurs at anode.

But the gold wire is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which means that gold wire will act as a cathode nad reduction will take place

The half reaction occurring at this electrode will be given as:

Au^++e^-\rightarrow Au

Which form of energy is directly related to the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance?
marshall27 [118]
<span>The form of energy related to measurement of kinetic energy is heat energy. Basically, thermal energy is related to the measurement of molecula kinetics of a substance. It is due to the thermoagitation of the partices of the substances, which keep on moving. </span>

Exactly 1.0 mol N2O4 is placed in an empty 1.0-L container and is allowed to reach equilibriumdescribed by the equation N2O4(g)↔
Vilka [71]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1

Solution :  Given,

Initial moles of N_2O_4 = 1.0 mole

Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the concentration N_2O_4.

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }N_2O_4}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{1.0moles}{1.0L}=1.0M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                           N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initially                      c                 0

At equilibrium   (c-c\alpha)           2c\alpha

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4

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

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

K_c=\frac{(2\times 1\times 0.4)^2}{(1-1\times 0.4)}

K_c=1.066\aprrox 1.1

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1

Is O2 always a double bond?
Dima020 [189]
  • O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecules.
  • H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O} molecules.
  • O=O double bonds in \text{O}_2 molecules.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

  • Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
  • Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an  \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 need 2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and one O atom in an \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule need 2 \times 1 + 2= 4 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two O atoms in an \text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{O}_2 molecule need 2 \times 2 = 4 more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule needs 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule needs 4 / 2 = 2 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{O}_2 molecule needs 4 /2= 2 chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
  • There is no H atom in \text{O}_2 molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.

How can I calculate the mass percent of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in caffeine, C8H10N4O2.
Ahat [919]

You must first calculate the total weight of 1 mole of the substance. You do this by finding the molar weights on the periodic table of each of the elements in the compound:

8(12.01g)+10(1.008g)+4(14.007g)+2(15.999g)=96.08g+10.08g+56.028g+31.998g=194.186g

So now we take the amount of each element that is given in the compound and divide it by the total mass of the compound:

Carbon: 96.08g

\frac{96.08g}{194.186g}= 0.49478=49.48

Carbon = 49.48%

Nitrogen: 56.028g

\frac{56.028g}{194.186g}=0.28853=28.85

Nitrogen = 28.85%

Oxygen: 31.998g

\frac{31.998g}{194.186g} =0.16478=16.48

Oxygen = 16.48%
