Answer: mole

A formula unit represents the simplest ratio of elements in a mole of an ionic compound.

Explanation:

The formula unit, also known as the empirical formula, gives the simplest whole number ratio of the components of the elements in a mole of an ionic compound.

Thus, the formula unit and the molecular formula of a compound can be the same.

For example: Glucose with C6H12O6 will have a formula unit of CH2O. Thus, the simplest ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in glucose is 1:2:1

Calculate the cell potential at 25oC under the following nonstandard conditions: 2MnO4-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 8H+(aq) ⟶ 2MnO2(s) + 3Cu2
baherus [9]

Answer:

1.346 v

Explanation:

1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:

(oxidation) Cu_{(s)} →Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} +2e E°=0.337 v

(reduction) MnO_{4 (aq)} + 3e + 4H^{+}_{(aq)}→MnO_{2 (aq)}+2H_{2}O E°=1.679 v

(overall) 2MnO_{4 (aq)}+3Cu_{(s)}+8H^{+}_{(aq)}→3Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2MnO_{2 (aq)}+4H_{2}O E°=1.342 v

2) Nernst Equation

Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:

E=E^{0} -\frac{RT}{nF}Ln\frac{[red]}{[ox]}

Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.

The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give

E=1.342 -\frac{298.15*8.314}{6*96500}Ln\frac{[.66]}{[1.69]}=1.346

E=1.346

State the difference between sugar in water and pebbles in water
Usimov [2.4K]
Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas.  They will slowly dissolve in water.  Pebbles are solids.  They will sit in water for a long time.  Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.

A block of metal has a mass of 0.0694 kg. It displaces 3.6 mL of water. What is it’s density in g/cm^3
Ivan

Answer:

19.28 g/cm^3 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

The volume of water displaced = the volume of the metal.

density = mass / volume

0.0694 kg = 0.0694 * 1000

=  69.4 g.

Density = 69.4 / 3.6

= 19.28 g/cm^3.
