Answer:

13.28 mol.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.32 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 242.0 L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K).

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 20.0° + 273 = 293.0 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (1.32 atm)(242.0 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(293.0 K) = 13.28 mol.

One thing that does not change is the chemical composition of water, which is still H2O. And maybe mass, if all of the particles remain inside the beaker, which was never mentioned in the question so I am not sure.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction. mc017-1.jpgRn mc017-2.jpgPo + ? Which particle is releas

Dovator [93]

The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?

Gnom [1K]

It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Cu is cathode because of higher EP

Al3++3e−→Al E∘=−1.66 V anode

Cu2++2e−→Cu E∘=0.340 V cathode

Step 2: Balance both equations

2*(Al → Al3+-3e−) E∘=1.66 V

3*(Cu2++2e−→Cu) E∘=0.340 V

Step 3: The netto equation

2 Al + 3Cu2+ +6e- → 2Al3+ + 3Cu -6e-

2 Al + 3Cu2+ → 2Al3+ + 3Cu

Step 4: Calculate the standard cell potential

E∘cell = E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cell = E∘ Cu2+/Cu - E∘ Al3+/Al

E∘cell =0.340 V - (-1.66) = 2.00 V

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
