What symbol is used to show the standard reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell?

1 answer:

6 0

The reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell is denoted by the symbol E°.
Reduction potential is the tendency of a given chemical species to become reduced, that is, gain electrons or undergo a decrease in oxidation number. The greater the reduction potential, the more likely that a species will be reduced.

Answer:

4.26 %

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴.

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.249 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴

Step 2: Write the ionization reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of nitrite in the equilibrium ([A⁻])

We will use the following expression.

$[A^{-} ] = \sqrt{Ca \times Ka } = \sqrt{0.249 \times 4.50 \times 10^{-4} } = 0.0106 M$

Step 4: Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid

We will use the following expression.

$\alpha = \frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]} \times 100\% = \frac{0.0106M}{0.249} \times 100\% = 4.26\%$

Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane, butane c4h10, have two more hydrogens ?

Scilla [17]

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.

Answer:c

Explanation:

I think because ca^+2

It’s loses the ion and if u look back u would see that a cation is a t charge but it’s not Goan that electron it’s losing that electron
