Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.
In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).
Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
Answer:
The mass was there all along, it was just in the air. The weight of the oxygen from the air is not weighed in the beginning, only at the end as part of the product, making it seem like there is a total mass change.
Answer:
3853 g
Step-by-step explanation:
M_r: 107.87
16Ag + S₈ ⟶ 8Ag₂S; ΔH°f = -31.8 kJ·mol⁻¹
1. Calculate the moles of Ag₂S
Moles of Ag₂S = 567.9 kJ × 1 mol Ag₂S/31.8kJ = 17.858 mol Ag₂S
2. Calculate the moles of Ag
Moles of Ag = 17.86 mol Ag₂S × (16 mol Ag/8 mol Ag₂S) = 35.717 mol Ag
3. Calculate the mass of Ag
Mass of g = 35.717 mol Ag × (107.87 g Ag/1 mol Ag) = 3853 g Ag
You must react 3853 g of Ag to produce 567.9 kJ of heat
They move like waves since they're such a small particle
Explanation:
The problem basically wants you to find a way to convert between the number of atoms present in the sample and the number of moles they are equivalent to.
To convert between atoms and moles we use something called Avogadro's constant, which basically acts as the definition of a mole.
More specifically, in order to have one mole of an element you need
6.022 x 10^23 atoms of that element. You can thus use this number as a conversion factor to take you from atoms to moles or vice versa.
In your case, you will have
3.90 x 10^ 26 atoms Zn x 1 mole Zn ( Avogrado’s constant) / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms Zn
= 6.5 x 10^8 is the answer
