An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, his stock in Company A was worth $7200 and his st

ock in Company B was worth $3510. The stock in Company A has decreased 24% since last year and the stock in Company B has decreased 20%. What was the total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary)

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

Given that last year stock for company A was $7200

The stock for company B last year was worth $3510

Stock in company A decreased by 24%

This means the new value of stock for company A became;

(100-24)/100 *$7200

76/100*$7200

0.76*7200 =$5472

Stock in company B decreased by 20%

This means the new value of stock for company B became;

(100-20)/100 *$3510

80/100*$3510

0.8*$3510

$2808

Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710

New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280

Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430

percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%

=2430/10710 *100 =22.689

=22.7%

Rxn 1: Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s)

a) E(Pt⁺²/Fe°) = - 1.668v

b) Process is Non-spontaneous if E(cell) < 0

Explanation:

Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s) ⇔

Pt°(s)|Pt⁺²[0.057M]║Fe⁺²[0.006M]|Fe°(s)

As written, Pt° is shown undergoing oxidation with Fe⁺² undergoing reduction. Applying the reduction potentials to the analytical equations for E(cell) and ΔG(cell) gives E(Pt/Fe⁺²) < 0 and ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) > 0 which indicate a non-spontaneous process. The following supports this conclusion.

E°(Fe⁺²) = -0.44v

E°(Pt⁺²) = +1.20v

E°(Pt/Fe⁺²) =E°(Redn) - E°(Oxidn) =E°(Fe⁺²) - E°(Pt⁺²)

= -0.44v - (+1.20v) = - 1.64v

[Fe⁺²] = 0.0066M

[Pt⁺²] = 0.057M

n = electrons transferred = 2

E(nonstd) = E°(std) - (0.0592/n)logQ);

Q = [Pt⁺²]/[Fe⁺²]

= -1.64v - (0.0592/2)log[0.057M]/[0.006M]v = -1.668v

Also, if ΔG(cell) > 0 => indicates non-spontaneous process

ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) = - nFE = -(2)(96,500Coulombs)((-1.664v) > 0 Kj => nonspontaneous rxn. (1 Coulomb-volt = 1 Kilojoule)

How many milliliters of a 1.25 molar hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution would be needed to react completely with 60.0 grams of cal
stich3 [128]

<u>Answer:</u>

2400 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ca + 2HCl \implies CaCl_2 + H_2

According to this equation, the stoichiometric ratio between Ca and HCl for the complete reaction is 1:2.

We know that the number of moles of Ca can be calculated using the mole formula. (<em>number of moles = mass / molar mass</em>)

Moles of Calcium = \frac{60}{40} = 1.5 mol

So the moles of HCl = 1.5 \times 2 = 3.0 mol

<em>Volume of HCl solution = Moles of HCl/ concentration of HCl</em>

Volume of HCl solution = \frac{3}{1.25} = 2400 mL
