What type of energy is stored in electrical charges?

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.

10.0 g Cu, C Cu = 0.385 J/g°C 10.0 g Al, C Al = 0.903 J/g°C 10.0 g ethanol, Methanol = 2.42 J/g°C 10.0 g H2O, CH2O = 4.18 J/g°C

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delte T$

Q = Energy gained or lost by the substance

m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature

1) 10.0 g of copper

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.385J/g^oC}=25.97^oC$

2) 10.0 g of aluminium

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the aluminium= c = 0.903 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.903 J/g^oC}=11.07^oC$

3) 10.0 g of ethanol

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the ethanol= c = 2.42 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 2.42 J/g^oC}=4.13 ^oC$

4) 10.0 g of water

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the water = c = 4.18J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC}=2.39 ^oC$

5) 10.0 g of lead

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the lead= c = 0.128 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.128 J/g^oC}=78.125^oC$

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.

In the gold foil experiment, what was observed

natima [27]

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden carried out their Gold Foil Experiment to observe the effect of alpha particles on matter.
