Answer:

<h2>It makes the current viable enough to pass through an exterior wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells primarily comprise of two half-cells. These half-cells assist in isolating the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. These two reactions are linked by a wire which allows the current to move from one edge to the other. The oxidation at the anode and the reduction take place at the cathode and the addition of a salt bridge helps in completing the circuit and permits the current to flow and leads to the generation of electricity.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

HNO₃ (aq) —> H⁺ (aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)

Explanation:

From the question given above

HNO₃ + H₂O —> ?

Nitric acid, HNO₃ reacts with water, H₂O to form aqueous solution of nitric acid as illustrated below:

HNO₃ + H₂O —> HNO₃ (aq)

Nitric acid is a strong acid and, so will ionised completely when dissolved in water. This is illustrated below:

HNO₃ (aq) —> H⁺ (aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)

Answer:

<h2>The sequence is; b, e, a, d, c </h2>

Explanation:

1. In a decomposition reaction; One reactant is broken down into two or more than two products is called decomposition.

2. A combustion reaction; A fuel is combined with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, this reaction is called combustion reaction.

3. A synthesis reaction; it occurs when two or more reactants combine to form one product is known as synthesis reaction.

4. Double Replacement Reaction; Two compounds react to form two different compounds is known as double Replacement Reaction.

5. A single replacement reaction; occurs when a compound reacts with an element to form a new compound , this reaction is called as single replacement reaction.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is 2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2$

Let us express it as

$SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2$

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1$

Let us express it as

$SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1$

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

$\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}$

The required ratio is 2:1

Leviafan [203]

Charles law gives the relationship between temperature of gas and volume of gas.
It states that for a fixed amount of gas, temperature is directly proportional to volume of gas.
V / T = k
where V- volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
T1 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
T2 = 150 °C + 273 = 423 K
Substituting the values in the equation,

$\frac{310 mL}{523 K} = \frac{V}{423K}$
V = 251 mL
the new volume is 251 mL
