Answer:

It is very important to known about the chemical reactions that takes place around us.

There are various types of chemical reactions taking place in our every day life. The burning of match stick, rusting of iron are chemical reactions that takes place in the body of organisms.

The compounds react together to form essential products which is formed. The matter that is formed in nature is combination if elements. Water and carbon dioxide form carbohydrates.

This is an example of combination of elements. There are many more examples which are seen in day to day life.

Scientist believe that about 25 of the known elements are essential to life. Just four of these - Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N), - make up about 96% of the human body.


These four elements are found in the basic structure of all biochemical molecules. For example, Glucose is a carbohydrate and it's molecular formula is C6H12O6 - each molecule of glucose is made up of 6 Carbon atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.


The other elements found can be divided into two main groups - major elements and trace elements.


The human body functions as a result of a large number of the chemical reactions involving compounds of a of these elements.

A galvanic cell whose cell reaction is 2Fe3+(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Fe2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) has a cell potential of 0.72V. What is the maxim
sesenic [268]

Answer:

138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work

Explanation:

The maximum electrical work that can be obtained from a cell is obtained from the equation:

W = -nFE

<em>Where W is work in Joules,</em>

<em>n are moles of electrons = 2mol e- because half-reaction of Zn is:</em>

Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

F is faraday constant = 96500Coulombs/mol

E is cell potential = 0.72V

Replacing:

W = -2mol*96500Coulombs/mol*0.72V

W = - 138960J =

<h3>138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work</h3>

What is the entropy change for the freezing process of 1 mole of liquid methanol at its freezing temperature (–97.6˚C) and 1 atm
Rudiy27

Answer : The value of change in entropy for freezing process is, -18.07 J/mol.K

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{freezing}}{T_f}

where,

\Delta S = change in entropy

\Delta H_{fus} = change in enthalpy of fusion = 3.17 kJ/mol

As we know that:

\Delta H_{fus}=-\Delta H_{freezing}=-3.17kJ/mol=-3170J/mol

T_f = freezing point temperature = -97.6^oC=273+(-97.6)=175.4K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{freezing}}{T_m}

\Delta S=\frac{-3170J/mol}{175.4K}

\Delta S=-18.07J/mol.K

Therefore, the value of change in entropy for freezing process is, -18.07 J/mol.K

The number of positive changes in the nucleus of an atom is equal to
raketka [301]

Answer:

The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton:

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.

How many liters of 1.75 M solution could be made using 35 grams of NaCl?
dolphi86 [110]
Data:
M (molarity) = 1.75 M (mol/L)
m (mass) = 35 g
MM (molar Mass) of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
V (volume) = ? (in liters)

Formula:
M =  \frac{m}{MM*V}

Solving:
M = \frac{m}{MM*V}
1.75 =  \frac{35}{58.44*V}
1.75*58.44V = 35
102.27V = 35
V =  \frac{35}{102.27}
\boxed{\boxed{V \approx 0.34\:L}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
